Dear Fellow Photographers,  I'm in the process of a long overdue remake of my photo tours/website. Please pardon the "work in progress" at the moment.

Meanwhile, feel free to contact me (Branson@bransonReynolds.com. or by phone at 970-247-5274 for detailed information on the new trips.

Sincerely,

Branson Reynolds

Nevada Highway 50:

America's "Loneliest Highway"

Beginning i an unlikely setting, the fantasy world of Las Vegas is the starting point for a journey into some of the loneliest lands in North America. Soon the two-lane highway beyond the "Next Gas 110 Miles" sign shrinks to a thin line as it crosses the desert basin and disappears over the next mountain range. This thin line leads to a photographic adventure as we head west from Ely on through Eureka, Austin, Fallon, and eventually into one of the most authentic and wildest towns of the "Old West", Virginia City. This trip is "Americana" all the way, and, though lonely, the scenery is spectacular.

June 3-9, 2007

This trip can be combined with the Virginia City, Bodie, Mono Lake trip for two weeks of continual adventure.

Virginia City, Ghost Town of Bodie and  Mono Lake

Virginia City , Nevada , was one of the most famous towns of the “Wild West”. One of the few that was never destroyed by fire, its board-walk streets and moody saloons add a feel of the bye-gone days to the Western Americana of this lively town. From here on to Bodie, the most famous Ghost Town of them all. Preserved in a state of "arrested decay", the well preserved buildings and cob-web veiled windows opening into the still-furnished rooms provide outstanding photo opportunities and a unique juxtaposition to Virginia City . Then on to the mysterious Mono Lake and it's wonderfully photogenic tufa formations. This trip is a variety of photographic delights of scenic beauty, history, and “ Americana ”.

This trip can be combined with the Virginia City, Bodie, Mono Lake trip for two weeks of continual adventure.

Fall in the Rocky Mountains
Several years ago when I was working on a book titled "Among the Aspens", I stopped in a ranger station in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho and asked the ranger where he would suggest I go to photograph majestic mountains and golden aspen forests. "Go down around Durango in southwest Colorado. My wife and I go there each year to see it---there's nowhere else like it.  I've lived here for 30 years and I agree.

We'll wander deserted and forgotten ghost towns in the footsteps of legends of the west like Billy the Kid, Kit Carson, Judge Roy Bean, and Butch Cassidy.
