I drive up to Colorado from Austin, Texas each year for our Summer and Fall Rocky Mountain Photography Workshops. \u00a0 We bring so much equipment with us (including a laser printer, maps, manuals, camera gear, tools, and much more) it just doesn’t make sense to fly. I have come to really enjoy the drive.<\/p>\n

Of course there is a lot of the drive that is just across flat land, but I enjoy the journey. \u00a0Right before you get to Amarillo, there is Palo Duro Canyon. \u00a0It’s a bit of a surprise since you are just in the middle of flat land and then suddenly there’s a canyon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you are in Amarillo, you can check out the “Cadillac Ranch.” \u00a0Seems only logical to plant some Cadillacs face down in the dirt, I guess?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then there is The Big Texan Steak House. If you can eat their 72 ounce steak with all the fixin’s withing an hour, you get it for free. \u00a0No I haven’t tried it. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0I do go there and eat a much-smaller-than-72-ounce steak, though.\"\"<\/p>\n

In the panhandle of Texas, you’ll find a lot of small towns along the drive that are dying with numerous old gas stations long out-of-business with stories of travelers from decades past.\"\"<\/p>\n

You’ll probably see a few trains passing by. \u00a0LONG trains.\"\"<\/p>\n

Then there is Mount Capulin in New Mexico. \u00a0This dormant volcano has a perfect cone and you can drive to the top and hike around the rim. \u00a0It is so peaceful up there on top! You can see for miles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Colorado Springs has so many places to visit such as the wonderful Garden of the Gods. We stop off at their gift shop and grab a bite to eat in their cafe on almost every trip.\"\"<\/p>\n

Eventually, we get to our destination in Estes Park, Colorado for our Rocky Mountain Photography Workshops. \u00a0 I’ll post more about the workshops in my next blog post. \u00a0We are sold out for 2017, but we are soon going to announce our 2018 workshop dates.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in joining us in 2018, go to our 2017 page and click on the bright green box<\/a> to express your interest. \u00a0You will be notified before the general public and be given the first chance to register!<\/p>\n
