Hells Gate Bridge

- Description
Print Name: Hells Gate Bridge
Captured: September 2019 | Location: Hells Gate, British Columbia, Canada
The Story: As explorer Simon Fraser wrote in 1808, this narrow passage was "a place where no human being should venture". This print captures the raw, untamed power of the Fraser River as it is forced through a gorge only 110 feet wide, with water flowing at more than twice the volume of Niagara Falls. The modern suspension bridge is a marvel of engineering that crosses this turbulent spot, offering a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Gold Rush trail, the challenging railway construction that led to the 1914 salmon-blocking landslide, and the enduring spirit of the Indigenous communities who have fished these waters for thousands of years.
Every print is personally inspected, and hand-signed by Métis artist Jason Lee.
Choose the perfect medium to bring this piece of Canadian history and natural power into your space:
- Best for: Classic museum-quality collections and custom framing.
- Details: I use the Palo Duro Soft Gloss Rag from Red River Paper, A 315gsm, 100% cotton fiber paper with a subtle sheen that enhances the cool blues of the dramatic sky and the vibrant red of the bridge structure. It is archival, acid-free, and meets ISO 9706 standards for long-term conservation.
- Shipping: Shipped unframed in a rigid tube or flat-packed (8x12).
Gallery Wrapped Canvas Blanco Satin Canvas (Ready to Hang)
- Best for: A modern, frameless look with an artistic, tactile feel.
- Details: I use the Blanco Satin Canvas from Red River Paper, Heavyweight 350gsm canvas gallery-wrapped over a 1.5" wood frame. Finished with three coats of protective varnish for UV and moisture resistance.
- Ready to Hang: Arrives fully assembled and ready to adorn your wall.
ChromaLuxe Metallic Panels (Vibrant & Durable)
- Best for: High-impact areas where clarity and color "pop" are the priorities.
- Details: Images are infused directly into aluminum panels for breathtaking depth and a glossy finish. These are scratch-resistant, waterproof, and can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner.
- Float Mount: Arrives with a hidden rear mount that makes the art appear to "levitate" 1/2" off the wall.
