Why I Started Photographers Trail Notes

To me, photography is a combination of art, energy, and adventure and allows me to share some of the beautiful places God has created.

As my passion for landscape photography has grown through the years, I realized how time-consuming and sometimes frustrating it can be to find detailed information about the locations I want to shoot. I’ve spent hours—even days—researching GPS coordinates, directions, trails, weather, and more to determine if a location was right for me. I realized the need for a trusted, informative, one-stop resource for all the information I would need to plan a shoot at a particular location for photographers like me. And 185+ locations and counting, here we are!

 
We have personally visited each of the 200+ locations on the website (which required extensive research and planning) and now we can provide you with our field notes including hands-on personal experience so you can spend more time in the field and less time researching.
