In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Little Mountain was a tourist destination like no other.
Horse and buggy transported Cleveland’s wealthy residents to the resorts located there for rest and relaxation. At an elevation of 1,266 feet (571 feet above Lake Erie), Little Mountain catches the winds and storms that sweep off the lake. It gets twice as much snowfall as the rest of northeast Ohio in addition to more rain, creating its own wet, cool micro-climate. Today, all evidence of the resorts is totally gone, and Little Mountain is now home to towering white pines, diverse plant communities, unique geological formations, and abundant wildlife. As a protected site, public viewing is limited to guided hikes with Holden Arboretum staff.
This photography workshop starts off with a brief orientation by Arboretum staff, followed by in-the-field guidance from professional photographer Debbie DiCarlo. A basic understanding of your camera is necessary. Tripods will be allowed.
