We will have a “summer in the mountains” photography outing on July 22 at 8 AM. There will be at least two stops, just across Wolf Creek Pass. First will be the Big Meadows Reservoir area, a mile or two off the highway on a gravel road. We can spend some time exploring the area around the reservoir, for some summer wildflowers, and perhaps reflections on the reservoir. It’s a popular fishing lake, but we should be there before it gets too crowded. We can then go back out to the highway, and drive a little over half a mile further towards South Fork to the Lake Fork pullout. There is a good trail here that we can follow along Lake Fork Creek. There are some good wildflowers, as well as nice scenes of the water flowing in the creek, and a small waterfall. Plan on half a mile or so of walking at each site. Bring water to drink, a lunch or snack, and dress for the weather. We should be back to Pagosa by 2 PM or so. Please let me know if you plan to attend.
The Pagosa Springs Photography Club July meeting will be on Wednesday, July 12, at the Community Methodist Church, 434 Lewis Street.

We are planning two photo club outings in the near future.The first will be Saturday, May 20. Meet at the Coyote Hill parking area at 9:30. This is about 6 miles north on Piedra Rd. Where the pavement ends, you will cross a cattle guard, and the parking area is ON THE RIGHT shortly after that. The valleys are intensely green, the mountains still have snow, and the aspen are getting their “new leaf green”, so conditions are great for landscape photography. We will head further out Piedra Rd to the Williams Creek Reservoir area. Continue reading “Upcoming Photo Club Outings”
