Badlands

Intriguing Landscapes and Abundant Wildlife in the South Dakota Badlands

June 8 – 12, 2023

Limited time offer: $500 off new registrations. Offer ends February 28, 2023.

In a vast landscape that was once an ancient sea, thousands of years of rain and wind have transformed layers of sedimentary rock, mudstone, and volcanic ash into one of the most dramatic geologic features in North America. The eroded and colorfully striped buttes, jagged peaks, and steep canyons of the Badlands are surrounded by the largest mixed-grass prairie remaining on the continent.

In addition to outstanding opportunities for landscape and interpretive nature images, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to photograph wildlife, including bison, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and prairie dogs. Be ready for non-stop photography and instruction from sunrise to sunset and beyond.

Our workshop is timed for the season of green grasses, wildflowers, young animals, and dramatic skies created by the tremendous lighting and thunderstorms that roll across the plains. Included in the workshop is a doors-off helicopter tour over the visually striking buttes and valleys of the Badlands.
