Favorite Dog Photo Locations
With two national grasslands, eleven National Forests, forty-three Wilderness areas, three national conservation areas, four National Parks, forty-two state parks, numerous open space areas, and several National Monuments, there are endless options for stunning photo locations in Colorado.
So how could you possibly even know where to begin, let alone narrow it down? That’s where I come in! An important part of my job is finding the location that’s perfect for you. While what follows are by no means the only locations I work in, these are some of my favorite areas for creating amazing photos.
