Going-to-the-Sun Road winding up through the pines with a little red touring car on it — the exact moment the valley opens up and the peaks fill the windshield.
Snow-covered summits rise in flat grey planes, two birds circle high over the ridge, and the forest runs deep green to the road's edge. The base reads GLACIER NATIONAL PARK · MONTANA · EST. 1910.
Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, low-glare surface that suits flat colour work — the blocks stay solid and the type stays crisp right to the edge.

All three are standard US frame sizes, so off-the-shelf frames fit without a custom mount. Measurements may vary slightly.
Framing and hanging
- Ships unframed, rolled in a protective tube
- Drops straight into a standard 12×18, 18×24 or 24×36 frame
- A 2″ white mat gives it the gallery look without a custom frame
- Frameless options work too — magnetic poster rails or wooden hangers suit the flat graphic style
- Hang out of direct midday sun to keep the colour blocks rich for years
Quick answers
What size should I get? 18″×24″ is the safe default for most walls. Go 12″×18″ for a gallery-wall cluster or a narrow hallway, and 24″×36″ when the poster is meant to be the focal point of the room.
Does it come framed? No — it ships unframed and rolled in a tube, which keeps the price down and lets you match your own frame. All three sizes are standard US frame sizes.
Is this a reprint of an old poster? No. It is an original illustration drawn in the 1930s national-park travel-poster tradition — the flat colour blocks, bold type and screen-print feel of that era, composed fresh for Glacier National Park. It is not a copy of any historical or contemporary poster.
Is the 1910 date right? Yes — Glacier became a national park in 1910, and it sits in northwest Montana on the Continental Divide. Both details are printed on the poster.
