This is the better view of El Capitan and Yosemite Valley.

Find a local frame shop. The big box stores don’t take nearly as much attention to detail as the small shops. If you’re in BR, guy on Perkins and Essen is prob best in south LA and very reasonably priced as compared to others.

Definitely wrap the frame in natural denim to complete the rugged outdoor look as a compliment to the scenery.

Probably the best view of my life came from the top of El Capitan. If I was local and had the balls I would do Half Dome.

El Cap, and a man climbed that thing bare handed. Still hard to fathom

Kinda old school but...find a nice frame shop around you and go there and ask them.
They’re a lot more like a Home Depot than you’d think. Knowledgeable people with ideas that can help.

I emailed one, we’ll see if they use that account.

They really tie a room together.

Yea, no doubt. I just don’t know what dry mounting means, and if I want that big of a piece of glass in my sons room. Bee cool to mount and laminate.
Dry mounting just means to adhere the print to a thicker base for support. Prevents puckers, wrinkles, bubbles.
If this is going in a kid's room, plexiglass all the way.
Not sure what your budget is but be prepared to pay for a frame that size, even if you DIY. I want to frame something that needs a 40x40 frame but the cost is more than 2.5 times the cost of a 36x36 frame.

No shite. You don’t print a gigapixel image to canvas.

This. ^^^
I do framing as a hobby, and I’m normally big on fancy hand-cut multi-layer matting. But on something that large, a relatively thin gunmetal frame with no matting is the perfect way to go.
