The Magnificent Canadian Rockies - Banff to Jasper Typical Workshop Schedule Fees and What Is Included Payment, Discounts, Cancellation, Refund Policies What to Bring Return to Schedule of Offerings Return to Ron's Bio Page
©Ron York The Canadian Rockies, with their rousing grandeur, serve as a magnificent backdrop for everything we will encounter in Banff, Jasper, and Yoho National Parks. After visiting the areas around the town of Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Yoho NP, we will continue north along the Ice fields Parkway, named for the massive glacial ice fields still active in the Canadian Rockies. The runoff from the ice fields has created countless milky turquoise-colored lakes and rivers winding their way through the pines, spruce, fir, larch, and aspen forests. These forests are home to bear, deer, elk, moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and countless bird species. The glaciers also provide constant heavy summer runoffs that create an abundance of waterfalls moving with fantastic force throughout both Parks. The Parks are 97% backcountry, and we will spend much of our time exploring rivers, lakes, and waterfalls away from the normally traveled road. We will shoot throughout the Parks through Saturday evening August 1, splitting our time between Banff, Yoho, and Jasper Parks. Ron has been traveling and leading workshops in Banff and Jasper for many years, and he will take you to some amazing photographic locations.
The workshop begins in Banff, AB, Canada and ends at a hotel near the Calgary Airport late on August 1. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to Banff. There are several regularly scheduled shuttles from Calgary Airport to Banff. We will provide this info with your registration confirmation package.
