Spirit Rising

160 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

This large format, high-resolution panoramic photograph captures one of the most iconic views in the American Southwest—sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Perched on the edge of a 500-foot cliff in the Island in the Sky district, Mesa Arch is a naturally formed sandstone arch that frames the vast canyon landscape beyond it. Formed over thousands of years by erosion, the arch is about 27 feet wide and has become a bucket-list sunrise spot for photographers around the world.

Each morning, for just a few brief moments, the rising sun lights up the underside of the arch with a brilliant orange glow—something that can only be seen at this exact time of day. Through the arch, the La Sal Mountains and the rugged canyons below are gradually revealed in the soft morning light.

This image was captured in ultra-high resolution, allowing every detail—from the textured rock surface to the distant mountain ridges—to be seen with remarkable clarity. The large format lets you experience the scene almost as if you were standing there yourself, making it perfect for anyone who’s visited the spot, dreams of going, or simply appreciates the beauty of the natural world.

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

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.
