Fall Photo Hike on the TRT

Description

Join us for a stroll around Spooner Lake and take in the changing colors of autumn. Immerse yourself, and your camera, in the new season! Join our trail guides and photo experts to learn the basics of nature photography and how to get the most out of your photos. Grab your camera (fancy or not, smartphones work too!) and get on the trail with us to capture fall through your own lens.

This three-mile, easy, out-and-back trek is family-friendly and appropriate for ages 12 and up.

What to Expect

TRTA treks are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. All trek leaders dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect their decisions made on the trail.
