Hey Instagram friends! Here are all of the details for the Fort Collins Instameet on February 6th, 2016.

Place

The meet will take place at Horsetooth Reservoir, starting at the Sunrise parking lot; see the map below for the exact location. This is the larger parking lot on the eastern side of the reservoir, with the road leading down to the water with swimming access. There is a parking fee if you don't have a Larimer County annual parking pass. If you're coming with a group of friends, carpool together to save on gas and parking fees!

Time

The meet will start at 3pm and will last through a little bit after sunset, so around 5pm. Afterward everyone is invited to The Mainline in Old Town (@mainlinealehouse) for some food, drinks, and to hang out with your fellow photographers. You can find your own parking, or you can park in the Old Town Parking Garage on East Mountain Avenue, and bring your parking ticket to the second floor of The Mainline to have it validated for free parking. Make sure to thank Cynthia from Visit Fort Collins for the free parking, and follow them on Instagram!

What it's all about

We'll meet, we'll take photos, we'll have fun. Bring your hiking shoes if you have them, because we'll be doing some trekking around on the trails in the area, and there will likely be some snow and ice to contend with. There will be some fun photo challenges, and possibly a prize or two for the winners. 

This Instameet is all about meeting some cool people and rad photographers, networking and making some friends! At future Instameets we'll do more adventuring around Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, if you have any ideas for a cool place to have the next meet, please let me know by sending me a direct message on Instagram (@darrensq), or emailing me at darren@heydarren.co.

Can't wait to see you all there!
