Spend an exciting 12 days exploring and photographing the diverse landscape, history, and culture of the Pacific West Coast. This highly customized trip will lead travelers from the dreamy Joshua Tree desert landscape of Southern California to the rocky coast of Big Sur and the Redwood Forests in the North to the magnificent waters of Crater Lakes in the state of Oregon. Travel in a small group via private van, ride the classic Coast Starlight train along the Pacific and follow the historic tracks of naturalist John Muir, legendary photographer Ansel Adams and writer John Steinbeck. Stay in fabulous hotels throughout the trip, eat delicious food and immerse yourself in the spirit of the contemporary West Coast culture.

In 2005-2006, Schreyer was honored with a major retrospective titled Small Stories From A Big Country at the Swiss Camera Museum in Vevey, Switzerland. In 2015, following his solo exhibition at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College, Winter Park, a collection of Schreyer’s Central Florida archival photographs were purchased for the museum’s prestigious Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art.
