Higher than Where Angels Land

from $90.00

There’s a certain kind of silence you only get high above the world. We had hiked the East Mesa Trail well before sunrise, winding our way through pines and sagebrush until the trail gave way to open sky - and the rim of the canyon. Observation Point.

From our perch, we could see the full sweep of Zion’s valley floor, a deep green carpet of trees tracing the Virgin River’s path, bordered by red and white Navajo sandstone cliffs rising like ancient cathedrals. Far below, the road was just a sliver - a ribbon of gray threading its way through the canyon, cars no more than glints in the morning light. Angels Landing, iconic and sharp, jutted out across the canyon. It looked impossibly small from where we stood.

By 8AM, we counted over 80 people already on Angels Landing, weaving their way along that narrow spine. The contrast was surreal. Down there - crowds, adrenaline, noise. Up here - just the two of us, a handful of others, and the distant echo of the canyon walls. Chipmunks curiously scurried across our bags, and we sat quietly, taking it all in.

The light crept down the cliffs, turning the red rock golden, slowly melting the coolness of morning. There was a peace up there that felt rare - the kind of stillness you earn with early alarms and dusty boots.

It reminded me why I love these wild places - not just for their grandeur, but for the perspective they offer. Not all hikes have to be famous to be meaningful. Sometimes, the quieter trail leads to the clearest view.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
