The Pacific Crest Trail spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. It is aĀ National Scenic Trail and itĀ reveals the beauty of the desert, unfolds the glaciated expanses of the Sierra Nevada, takes you deep into forests, and provides commanding vistas of volcanic peaks in the Cascade Range. The trail symbolizes everything there is to loveā€”and protectā€”in the Western United States.

The Pacific Crest Trail passes through fiveĀ national monuments, five state park units, six national parks, seven BLM field offices, 25 national forest units and 48 federal wilderness areas.Ā ImagineĀ the work involvedĀ to coordinate it!

    Each poster is an original work andĀ are numbered, signed and dated. The posters are created in the style of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), when ā€” in the 1930s and 1940s ā€” the Federal Government commissioned hundreds of artists to create thousands of poster designs for public exhibits, community activities, theatrical productions, health, safety and educational programs, nature and travel. By the end of the WPA era, only 26 National Parks had been established and only 14 parks had posters created for them.

    Photographer and graphic artist, Robert B. Decker, studied photography with Ansel Adams in the summer of 1979 in Yosemite National Park when he was just 19ā€¦an experience that solidified his love of photography and our National Parks. Now he is on a journey to photograph and create iconic WPA-style posters of allĀ 61 major national parks as we look forward to the next 100 years of the National Park Service.

    Meet the Artist, Rob Decker

    Photographer and graphic artist Rob Decker studied photography with Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park during the summer of 1979. The experience solidified his love of photography and our National Parks. Now he is on a journey to photograph and create iconic WPA-style posters of allĀ our major national parks as we celebrate the next 100 years of the National Park Service.

    "I feel that itā€™s important to protect Americaā€™s special places, and to connect people with nature. And itā€™s up to all of us to pitch in. Perhaps more importantly, we need to inspire the next generation of park stewards. Iā€™m trying to make a difference by giving back to the amazing organizations that support our National Parks. I donate 10% of annual profits, so when you buy one of these original works, you're helping these trusts, conservancies and associations, too."

    Our Giving Back Program

    By creating these iconic images, I hope to help generate awareness ā€” not only of the grandeur of these amazing places ā€” but also for the need of continued protection and operation of the parks. I think that everyone ā€” now and in the future ā€” should have a chance to enjoy the often-fascinating and always awe-inspiring majesty of our National Parks.
