The incomparable Kings Canyon National Park is sadly the least visited of the Sierra national parks receiving fewer than one million visitors annually versus its more popular cousins Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park who receive 1.5 million visitors and over 4 million visitors respectively. This is due in large part to the lack of roads to provide access to the more than 460,000 acres of wilderness, with fewer than 30 miles of road in the park you must be prepared for a long hike to see this park’s magnificent sights. This does mean though that most of this park remains free from human impact preserving the natural wilderness.

Just outside of Kings Canyon National Park you’ll find Hume Lake Road. The long winding road will eventually lead you, not unsurprisingly, to Hume Lake. Before then, however, you are treated to some beautiful overlooks. We were driving along the road when I came upon this view, there was no signed pull off so this shot was taken from an unmarked bend in the road.

The Great Western Divide is the section of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range that divides Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. This view of the range at sunset was absolutely stunning. The perfect spring evening led to a truly spectacular sunset over the mountains that had been covered with snow only a week or two prior. Now only a few peaks remain snow kissed as the sunset behind these majestic peaks.

Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.

Produced using a specialty, large-format fine art printer operating at 300ppi resolution—the gold standard for sharpness

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity

Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating

Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums

Handmade by award-winning master printmakers with over 4 decades of experience

Optionally accompanied by your choice of elegant floater frame available in a variety of trims

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.
