Join us for an intensive landscape photography workshop at Mt St Helens. The workshop includes two 4-hour inside sessions on landscape photography and post-processing, two 4-hour field sessions and an optional third field session. We’ll be based at the Eco Park Resort where the classroom portions of the workshop will be conducted.



The field sessions will be held on the way to and around the Johnston Ridge Observatory on the northwest side of the volcano. It’d be a great photographic adventure. You’ll come back with great images, new friends and enriched skills and knowledge.

Workshop Basecamp, Meals & Lodging

The workshop will be based out of the Eco Park Resort, a rustic facility that includes cabins, camping, RV sites, and a cafe. It offers the closest lodging to Mt St Helens and is about 35 minutes to the

Johnston Ridge Observatory above Spirit Lake. The café offers breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be on your own. We’ll meet at Eco Park for the indoor sessions. Additional lodging is available at the

Seaquest State Park and at the Timberland Inn & Suites in Castle Rock, WA.



You’ll need to book your own lodging and provide your own meals. We’ll eat dinner at Eco Park’s Café before the sunset photo sessions, and eat breakfast after our sunrise photo session. However, you can

make your own arrangements for meals.



Eco Park books up early in the season. So we’ll reserve some cabins and/or yurts that you can then book before the workshop. If you stay for the optional sunset photo session on Sunday, you’ll need to

book lodging for Sunday night. For more info on Eco Park: https://www.ecoparkresort.com/.



Bonus Friday Night Shootout is available too. Register for more information
