How to photograph wilderness areas

Wilderness areas reward those who camp: being on location at sunrise and in the dark is the main advantage over day visitors.

  • Motorized and mechanized equipment, including drones, is prohibited in designated wilderness.
  • Group size limits and permits may apply; check with the managing agency.
  • Practice Leave No Trace — camp on durable surfaces away from lakes and streams.
  • Pack weight matters: a single zoom and a light tripod cover most situations.
  • Night skies are often among the darkest in the country.

Season: Most high wilderness is snow-free from July to September; lower deserts are best in spring and autumn.
