Vintage National Park Posters
A vintage style national park poster is one of the best ways to remember a trip. Swell Scenes makes modern vintage national park posters of specific places inside the parks: the lake at the end of a hike, a backcountry camp, a peak you climbed. They are designed in-house by David and Travis and printed to order.
Trails, lakes, and camps, not just park names
Most national park posters show one famous view. Ours often name the exact spot, which makes them a better gift for someone who hiked it. A few examples from the collection:
- Glacier: Iceberg Lake and Holly Creek
- Yosemite: Little Yosemite Valley, Tenaya Lake, and Sunrise High Sierra Camp
- Mount Rainier: Indian Bar
- North Cascades: Sahale Arm
- Olympic: 7-Mile Camp
- Kenai Fjords: Harding Icefield
- Rocky Mountain: the Keyhole route on Longs Peak
- Great Smoky Mountains: a minimalist park poster
The collection also covers places near the parks, such as Colchuck Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and Lake 22 in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
Framed or unframed
Every poster comes in sizes from 5x7 to 24x36 inches, unframed or framed in black, white, or wood, or as walnut, white, or black floating frame canvas. Prints are made to order on museum-grade matte paper with archival inks. Framed prints arrive ready to hang.
Gifts for hikers
A print of a trail someone finished is a gift they will not already own. If you are not sure of the exact spot, pick the park they talk about most, and choose a framed print so it is ready for the wall. For a bigger gift, the National Parks gallery wall sets combine several parks in matching frames.
Building a national park wall
A row of park posters in the same size and frame color reads as a collection, even when the parks are far apart. Some people add one print for every park they visit, so the wall grows with each trip.
