Zion Canyon Overlook

257 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Zion National Park, Utah

At the culmination of the Canyon Overlook Trail lies a spot that holds a special place in my heart, particularly for witnessing the break of dawn. Despite the chilly grasp of winter mornings and the journey required to reach this point, solitude is a rare companion here – and for good reason.

Captured amidst the serene beauty of Zion National Park, this expansive photograph encapsulates a moment from one such frigid winter day. As the sun ascended behind us, its rays painted the snow-clad peaks in front with hues of warm reds and yellows, while the lingering darkness cast large shadows upon the lower sandstone formations.

Centered in the frame stands the Tower of the Virgin, a prominent figure among the towering sandstone monoliths adorning the western expanse of Zion Canyon. In this scene, the snow-draped peaks of The Sundial, The Witch Head, Broken Tooth, Rotten Tooth, Altar of Sacrifice, Bee Hive, and The Sentinel awaken under the gentle embrace of early morning light, each offering a unique silhouette against the canvas of dawn. This image not only captures the grandeur of nature's architecture but also preserves a moment of quiet splendor that defines the timeless allure of Zion National Park.

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.
