ABOUT GICLÉE PRINTING
What's the difference between digital printing and giclée printing? Giclée printing is one of the best print reproduction methods available, and allows us to provide a quality product that is guaranteed to not fade for over 100 years. It is a process that uses a specialized 12 color inkjet printer, acid free papers, and pigment based archival inks. Digital inkjet printing is a more cost-effective option for those who love the artwork but are not ready to invest in an archival-quality print.
FRAMES
All four print sizes come solely on the acid-free paper. Mats and frames are not included. It is strongly recommended to withhold frame purchases until after print is received, so as to precisely measure the print for the correct frame size, as slight variation in actual size may occur.

Every print is shipped via USPS with tracking and insurance. We are print on command so allow 7-10 business days for delivery.
RETURN POLICY
Full refund if returned in original condition within 14 days. Buyer must contact vis Etsy messages prior to return, and pay return shipping.
About Paradise Valley, Montana
In southwestern Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park and nestled between the Absaroka Range to the east and the Gallatin Range to the west is Paradise Valley. This Montana gem follows the Yellowstone River, and boasts 53 miles of breathtaking, scenic landscape, stretching through rich rolling farmland, hot springs, flowing crystal, clear rivers, acres of green meadows and majestic peaks that make for captivating and dramatic backdrops. Paradise Valley is truly a paradise, where you can soak up the natural environment and diverse wildlife of the region.
At the bottom of Paradise Valley is the town of Livingston, which is regarded as the Northern gateway to Yellowstone National Park, a title that was bestowed when the Northern Pacific Railway built a rail line running south to Yellowstone in 1882. Originally, Paradise Valley was the entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is a national treasure, featuring the world's most active geysers, the highest concentration of large and small mammals in the lower 48 states, numerous bird and fish species, a variety of vegetation and miles and miles of trails.
The eastern sections of the Gallatin National Forest run through Paradise Valley and comprises of roughly 2.1 million acres, with the Absaroka-Beartooth and Lee Metcalf Wilderness areas within its boundaries. Founded in 1899, Gallatin National Forest is home to six different mountain ranges, including Gallatin, Madison, Bridger and Beartooth Mountains. With numerous plant species, this habitat supports some 300 wildlife species, that includes the grizzly bear, bald eagle, peregrine falcon, elk, mule deer, bison, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain lion and black bear. There are more than 2,290 miles of interlinking hiking trails in the forest that extends into wilderness areas and offers beautiful scenery of nature.
At the heart of Montana's fly-fishing and North American big game fishing is Paradise Valley. The Yellowstone River and the spring creeks of Paradise Valley meanders through the Yellowstone National Park, and downstream through Gardiner, Paradise Valley, Livingston, and below Big Timber, and is excellent trout water. Native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow, whitefish and big browns are common in these streams. Paradise Valley is regarded as home to Montana's finest "blue-ribbon" fisheries.
On the National Register of Historic Places is Chico Hot Springs, a place whose natural hot mineral spring water continues to be an attraction. The area's Native American tribes viewed Paradise Valley's waters as a source of renewal and spiritual cleansing. Paradise Valley is a gem unto itself and is still one of Montana's finest.
