PHOENIX — Do you enjoy wildlife photography? Then make plans to attend the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s photography outing on Sunday, June 24, 7-11 a.m., at Canyon Lake, about 15 miles northeast of Apache Junction.

Led by the department’s award-winning photographer, George Andrejko, and expert photographer and biologist Randy Babb, two pontoon boats will take 15 photographers out for a morning of photographing bighorn sheep and other wildlife on one of our most scenic waterways, Canyon Lake. George will provide tips, instruction, and advice for novice and experienced photographers on how to photograph these iconic desert animals. The boats will be lightly loaded to maximize comfort and mobility for photographers.

Canyon Lake offers some of the best opportunities to view and photograph bighorn sheep, and the rugged terrain surrounding the lake supports some of the largest examples of this species found anywhere in North America.

WHEN: June 24, 7-11 a.m.
WHERE: Acacia Boat Launch area, Canyon Lake
PRICE: $125 per person
