A Day at the Hegman Lake Pictographs
Now here!!! Day photo excursions to the Hegman Pictographs!
Now in 2014, spend a day tripping into the famous Hegman Lake pictographs. Some of the cleanest, most vibrant wall art in the entire BWCA/Quetico area! Starting the first of May or ice-out, whichever comes first! Continuing through ice up in the fall, and opening again when the ice is safe to travel early next winter.
Although the pictographs are the main focus of the trip, thousands of additional subjects and landscapes of the boreal forest are there for the image taking. A typical day would include a fast-paced trip to the pictographs to take advantage of the warm morning sun hitting the easterly exposed wall. A leisurely trip back will include stops for landscape photography, looking for local orchids and other flora, keeping an eye along the shoreline for deer, moose, wolves or any other mammals native to the area. Eagles abound as do many other boreal bird species. Blueberry picking in season is a possibility.
Cost:
Open water
1-2 people: $300 - price includes canoe/paddles and transportation to the Hegman parking lot. Participants are responsible for life jackets, a packed lunch and all of their own camera gear. Contact ken@snottymoose.com for suggested camera equipment.
More than 2 people: add $50/person plus outfitting costs. If you don't have your own gear, I work with a number of outfitters in the area who would be happy to assist you. BWCA limits group size to 9, which includes the guide.
Ice travel
Excursion costs are the same. Depending on conditions, travel may be simply walking but might necessitate snowshoes or cross country skis. Participants are responsible for their own equipment
