Capture Oregon’s only National Park with this scenic Photography Workshop in collaboration with Bend Photo Tours. This overnight excursion will have us camped along the edge of Diamond Lake with remarkable vistas of Mt. Thielsen and other Oregon peaks. While the campsite is serene, the real treasure lies just south - Crater Lake National Park. Alongside some inspiring hikes, Toni Toreno of Bend Photo Tours will help you fully capture the beauty of Crater Lake at sunset as well as in the heart of night, with the stars shining brightly on the moonless evening.
As an extra bonus of celestial magic, the Perseids Meteor Shower will be nearing its peak during our night of astrophotography!

Available June - Oct

Starlight Snowshoe Tours & Bonfire Tours

Cruising on snowshoes under the starlit sky, we will immerse ourselves in the winter wonderland of the Deschutes National Forest.

Starlight Cave Tour

Join us on this epic subterranean tour on Bend’s ponderosa pine-studded high desert.  After our underground exploration we will emerge from the cave to find the night sky twinkling above us. Our renowned naturalist guides will highlight sweet bits of these cool caverns that might not initially meet the eye and tell age old stories of astronomy and the cosmos!

Available Apr - May & Oct - Nov
