Description

This is a chance to catch and photograph the elusive “Moonbow” of Yosemite Falls! 

We’re heading back to Yosemite for a Spring Waterfall and Moonbow tour. This is our first return to this event in seven years!

This tour covers the best of Yosemite’s iconic sights along with a few hidden gems, and we’ll be doing nighttime photography as well. We’ve timed this trip for late May on purpose: the waterfalls are at their peak, the road to Glacier Point is usually open by then, and it gives us a shot at capturing the elusive “moonbow.”

Given how popular this tour has been in the past, and how long it’s been since our last one, we expect it to sell out quickly, so don’t wait too long to reserve your spot. Yosemite is a truly special place, and if you haven’t had the chance to photograph it in all its glory, this is the perfect time of year to do it.

This tour is LIMITED TO ONLY 10 people!!

Join us in what was Ansel Adams playground! See and photograph Half Dome, El Capitan and some of the most famous photographic spots in history. PLUS, the many hidden areas of Yosemite and off the beaten path locations we know are just as beautiful.

No matter what your photographic level, you can attend these tours.

Beginners through advanced will find this tour wonderful in so many ways. You will be instructed personally by
David and Ally McKay, as well as the amazing MPA team.
