Moose Photo Tour
Bull Moose. Cow Moose. You. Your Camera.
The fall is the best time of the year to photograph the Alaska moose, Alces alces, with the onset of the autumn rut, magnificent fall colors and the bull moose in the prime of his year. This location near Anchorage is one of Alaska’s great photograph locations that is largely undersung and not well promoted outside the state.
That being the case, I’m not about to divulge where it is, exactly, but rest assured there are few places in the world that offer better opportunities to go out for the day and photograph moose.
The hiking involved on this trip is not terribly difficult, but some walking is involved. It might require a mile or 2 hiking, most on an easy trail, though the hiking gets a bit harder once we leave the trail and hit the broken forest of the subalpine terrain. Moderate fitness level required.
Price: $400.00 day, sunup – sundown.
Gear required: warm, weather dependent clothing, layers, your camera gear.
What’s included: lunch and transport from/to your hotel provided, photography field instruction and guide service.
Dates: October/November.

On a scale of 1 – 5, five being the most challenging, two hiking boots is at the easier end of the spectrum.
1 boot = basecamp/dayhike easy
2 boots = easier backpacking trip
3 boots = intermediate level trip
4 boots = intermediate to advanced backpacking
5 boots = ask yourself are you really ready for this?
Expect whatever level you think might best fit you to be one level LOWER on our scale. Hiking here in Alaska is generally a step or three above what you’ll find in the Lower 48 states.
Realize that backpacking is never “easy”. You’re carrying from 35-50+ pounds on your back day after day. You’ll be hiking for a number of hours each day (varies trip to trip, day to day), and that’s not “easy” for most people.
That said, our “2 hiking boots” level should meet the need for most novice backpackers, and are generally what I recommend for families with younger kids, etc as well. Terrain challenges aren’t usually a problem, and the walking is somewhat more orthodox. You won’t be traversing 1 mile of steep sidehill covered in slippery rocks, or snaking through dense thickets of alder and willow.
