My wife did a basic photography class through the Mountaineers Club about 2 years back. I would start there.

I have no idea if the place does any outdoor work, but today's Living Social deal is for photography classes.

I did a course at Seattle Central with a prof who also teaches a street photography class if your SO might be into that. But it doesn't really sound like what you're looking for.

Will keep an eye out for the class, maybe I'll get him a gift certificate to Glazers so he can buy/sign up for whatever he wants.

Since he's particularly interested in rugged terrain, there are also sometimes workshops at REI that are outdoor oriented
