This is the companion hike for the May 7 NoCo Photography Workshop, and is meant to provide an opportunity to practice the skills from that workshop.

Participants in that workshop will automatically be registered for this hike.
If you've been registered but don't plan to attend the hike, you can cancel or contact the trip leader to be removed from the roster. This won't affect your workshop registration.

After May 1, anyone else may join the hike if space remains.

We might change location based on the conditions for photography (wildflowers in bloom; weather).  Any changes will be communicated by email.  Plan for an easy hike (under 8 miles and 1200 ft of elevation gain) and a pace that accommodates plenty of stops for photo ops.

Meeting place and time will be sent to participants in advance.
