Another super cold, rainy day spent with this fun family! We had a great time even though we were FREEZING!
Location: Ryder Park, Idaho Falls
Ryder Park is a more open area unless you walk all the way across to the river then you'll find some huge trees and more foliage. It was wet and muddy this day so we stayed near the pond area.
Access
This park has a small parking lot but easy access around the pond area. There is dirt which turns to mud if it's really wet!
Exploration
Ryder Park is located right off Sunnyside Road on the West side of Idaho Falls. There is a small fishing pond and walkway all the way around with benches to sit at. You'll have easy access to Snake River Landing for shopping and good food like MacKenzie River and Buffalo Wild Wings. There is a cute shop called Love at First Bite where you can find a treat and cute nick knacks for your house and unique gifts.
Best time of year
In general, Spring, Summer and Fall are ideal for photo shoots. There should still be some access in the winter but you'll probably have to hike through some snow to get to the perfect spot.
Time of day
This location is great for late afternoon and evening sessions during golden hour. It's pretty open so I wouldn't shoot here during mid-day sun unless it's overcast.
Respect nature and property
Remember to always respect nature and property. Abide by private property signs and practice Leave No Trace when you visit someone's land or nature trails and do not disturb wildlife. This is a public park so we may sometimes have to work around people who are enjoying the park.
