Texas Landscape Safari Itinerary

The Spring 2016 Texas Landscape Safari will be held April 24 – 28, 2016 in Fort Davis, Texas deep in the heart of West Texas! That’s right. The Spring 2016 TLS will be moving from the Hill Country to the mountains and deserts of West Texas.

Base Camp will be at the Indian Lodge in the Davis Mountains State Park in Fort Davis, Texas and we will be shooting at Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Davis Mountains State Park as well as other key locations during the four day workshop. Several of these locations will require a short hike to the best shooting locations so a good pair of hiking shoes or boots and a photo-pack to carry your gear is highly recommended. Most other key spots and overlooks are “drive up and shoot” opportunities, so don’t worry if you’re not up for the hike. There are thousands of great locations within 200 miles of our base camp!
