Why Shoot Northwest Colorado

Northwest Colorado is like a National Geographic, Travel, and History Channel episode rolled into one.

Sure it's quintessential ski-country Colorado (and home to the Winter X-Games) but it's a thousand locations more: vineyards, orchards and desert mesas, red rock canyons and wide open ranches. Raging rivers. Ghost towns. Hot springs and hunting camps. It’s also beautiful Aspen, home to the rich and famous and a long-time Hollywood outpost.

The “Western Slope” along Utah’s border is a world unto itself and home to Grand Junction, hub of western Colorado. Junction is an outdoorsy city and mountain-biking haven that sits under the world’s largest mesa at the confluence of two rivers. It's is a natural production hub due to its ease of access (straight shot from LA), amazingly diverse locations, abundant sun, arid conditions and milder weather. The epic Colorado National Monument is just outside town.
 
To the north are the impossible Book Cliffs and the stunning white and red-rock deserts and canyons of Dinosaur National Monument and the Yampa River (think GoPro commercials or Man vs Wild). 
 
East is renowned Steamboat, a world-class wild-west ski town surrounded by green rolling fields, rich and famous homes, and massive private ranches that are reality-show favorites.
 
The interior contains the world's largest outdoor hot springs, millions of acres of forest and outdoorsy mountain towns famous for wilderness, ice-climbing and massive mountain views - all which help make Northwest Colorado one of the coolest places you'll ever shoot.
