1940 Diablo dam rd
Rockport

In the grandeur of the North Cascades, moonless nights with clear skies offer fantastic opportunities to capture vivid images of the galaxy.
Join photographer Andy Porter — an award-winning photographer based in Skagit Valley whose photographs have been featured in the Smithsonian Museum — on this small-group evening expedition to capture images of the Milky Way on a moonless night in North Cascades National Park.
We’ll begin the adventure with a delicious, organic dinner and short evening workshop on the Art of Night Photography at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center. Then we’ll head a short distance to Diablo Overlook where Andy will guide us in capturing our own images of the night sky.
You will need to bring your own camera equipment including a DSLR camera, wide-angle lens (preferably 14 to 24 mm), sturdy tripod and a cable release.
Your tuition includes a stay in our guest lodges at the Environmental Learning Center after our evening adventure, which includes overnight accommodations and breakfast, lunch and a guided naturalist activity the following day.
