We will spend the day exploring the roaring fork motor nature trail. We will stop and photograph the cabins along the trail, look for flowers and wildlife. After we have completed the motor trail we will circle back around to the grotto falls trail and hike to the waterfall. Grotto falls is a fairly easy hike but it is a hike so I do not recommend this class if you have any medical issues at all! While at the waterfall, we will learn about our camera settings and composition.
Equipment needed = camera/lens, tripod, hiking gear and shoes (including water and snacks)
