All ground transport handled in SUVs. Ride out pre-dawn, stay till after dark, meals packed so you don’t miss golden light.
Wild horses roam freely. Sightings are highly likely but never guaranteed.
All camera skill levels welcome — just be comfortable adjusting basic settings. We’ll coach you in the field.
Hands-Free Logistics
We handle permits, route-finding, meals, hydration, and even an SLC airport shuttle, so you focus on creating images, not wrangling details.
Dawn-to-Dusk Field Time
Private SUVs roll out before sunrise and stay through sunset, capturing both golden hours without wasting daylight on hotel returns.
Small Group, Zero Elbow Jostle
Our small group means clear sight-lines, personalised coaching, and no tripod traffic jams.

FAQs
Will we definitely see the wild mustangs?
Sightings are highly likely. The range holds ≈230 horses. But wildlife is never guaranteed. Our guides monitor the herds daily to maximize the odds.
What camera gear & skill level do I need?
ANY camera will work (cell phones included). For best results, a mirrorless or DSLR with interchangeable lenses is recommended. We pack 70-200mm and 100-400 lenses. Longer zooms aren’t necessary but you can bring whatever you'd like!
How strenuous is the trip?
Light to moderate. We generally photograph within 100’ of the vehicles, and follow BLM’s no-approach-closer-than-100 ft rule. Uneven desert ground; expect 3–5 mi walking spread over a day.
Where do I stay?
We’ve reserved a discounted block of rooms at the Comfort Inn in Tooele, 1 hr from the range. Book under White Deer Photography to lock-in the rate. Lodging isn’t included in the trip cost.
Is airport pickup available?
Yes — free pick up from Salt Lake City (SLC) on 22 June, 1-3 p.m. Let us know your airline and flight number.
How do I pay and what are the fees?
Reserve with a $1000 deposit, payable by check (must be received by May 31), or Paypal (White Deer Photography). Please note a 3% processing fee will be added for Paypal payments. Balance due June 7.
What if weather or wildfires shut us out?
We go out to look for the horses, rain or shine. In the highly unlikely occurrence of a wildfire, you’ll receive a credit towards a future workshop or a pro-rated refund.
What’s the cancellation policy?
Cancel ≥60 days out: refund minus $100 admin fee. <60 days: payments are non-refundable but transferable if we fill your seat.
