The Watchman in Zion National Park is one of the areas most iconic and recognized feature. It sits prominently above the Southern entrance to the park and is part of a jagged ridge-line near The Watchman Campground. The bright colors of the rock that makeup this peak and the surrounding area are part of what makes this such a spectacular sight to behold.
To capture this VAST photo of The Watchman required that I stay camp in the park for a while. It was a priority for me that the leaves be changing color in the fall and have just the right level of yellow to add that extra bit of color to the final image. I was very lucky that the sunset proved to be as magical as it did, adding texture and color to the sky.
Those who visit Zion National Park are so enthralled by its physical beauty, that they often start planning their return visit before the first is even over. I am thrilled that I was able to capture even a sliver of its natural beauty and vibrancy in this VAST photo of The Watchman of Zion.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
