Portrait photo of John Freeman, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
John Freeman

Bright Angel Point at the North Rim Visitors Center is often the first, and sadly the only, location visitors to the North Rim experience. It is home to the Grand Canyon Lodge, the only accommodation within 45 miles of the rim. The Grand Canyon's rustic and less populated North Rim is home to abundant wildlife, hiking trails, and unparalleled views of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Grand Canyon Lodge sits at 8,000 feet in elevation and guests are greeted by breathtaking views of the canyon from its large viewing patio. Home to the trail head for Bright Angel Trail it is the departure point for many adventurous hikers endeavoring to do the the Rim to Rim Hike.

The morning I shot this, my wife and I were up early around 5am to drive the 60 minute drive from our campground at Jacobs Lake to the North Rim visitor center. We arrived right before sunrise only to discover that the trail to Bright Angel Point was closed for repairs. Disappointed, I scouted around for another location to shoot from. I discovered a overlook just below the Grand Canyon Lodge on a narrow outcrop that extended some 50 yards out from the canyon wall. I walked out to the overlook and this was the scene from it. I waited a while after sunrise for the light to extend down into Bright Angel Canyon some. While most of the trees in the canyon are evergreens there are a few scrub oaks and shrubs that are ablaze in fall color, especially along the right side of the panorama. It turned out to be one of the clearest days during this years visit. If you zoom into the image on the south rim you can clearly see the South Rim Visitor center along with the trail that descends down to the bottom.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
