Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Grand Canyon's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Grand Canyon National Park Airport Runway Diagram Print
Grand Canyon National Park Airport has one runway, and the print lets it own the sheet. Runway 3/21 measures 8,999 feet by 150 feet on asphalt, and it is rendered here as a single dark strip cutting on the diagonal from the lower left of the frame to the upper right, the 3 end low and the 21 end high. A taxiway shadows it the whole way down the southeast side, swelling into apron and terminal ground near the 21 threshold and tapering to a turnaround at the 3 end. Below the drawing sit the identifier, the coordinates and the field elevation, 6,609 feet.
The field is state owned and public use, in Tusayan in unincorporated Coconino County, about 1 mile from the South Rim entrance of the Grand Canyon, and it covers 859 acres. The present airport opened for business in 1965 and its terminal was formally dedicated in 1967. An earlier Grand Canyon airport came first: a landing field authorized by the United States Forest Service, opened for commercial flights in 1928, sitting 7.6 miles southwest near Red Butte and operating until 1965. Weather here is a humid continental climate bordering on cold semi-arid, which is not what most people expect of an Arizona airport.
Before 1968, Bonanza Air Lines ran a daily F-27 round trip that strung this field between Prescott and Cedar City on a routing that began at Phoenix and finished at Salt Lake City. On a wall, all of that history reduces to one confident line. The composition is mostly open ground with a long slash through it, so it reads as graphic rather than busy, and it holds up in a narrow hallway or a stairwell where a denser multi runway field would turn to noise. The colorway you choose sets the temperature; the geometry stays the same.
Grand Canyon (GCN) print, common questions
How many runways does GCN have?
One. Runway 3/21 is 8,999 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface, and the print draws it as a single diagonal strip with its taxiway running parallel alongside.
How high is Grand Canyon National Park Airport?
The field elevation is 6,609 feet above sea level, and that figure is printed under the GCN identifier on the artwork. It is a high field, which is part of why the single long runway is worth the space it takes.
Where is the airport, and what does GCN stand for?
GCN is the identifier for Grand Canyon National Park Airport, listed with Grand Canyon, Arizona. The field itself sits in Tusayan in unincorporated Coconino County, roughly 1 mile from the South Rim entrance of the Grand Canyon.
How accurate is the layout on the print?
The drawing is plotted from published airport information for GCN: runway 3/21 at its published length, width and orientation, with the taxiway and apron shapes in their published positions. It is composed for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting symbols, pavement markings and small service structures are the usual omissions.
What formats and sizes can I order?
This diagram is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. The physical pieces are made to order in the colorway and format you select; the download is a file you print yourself.
Is this a good gift?
It suits anyone tied to this field: air tour and charter crews who work the South Rim, and travelers who flew in for the canyon and remember the walk off the ramp. A framed piece gives a finished gift with no extra assembly.
