Chronicle: Puzzle 1000 Valley Of The Peaks

You can feel a particular stillness to a mountain lake on a clear morning, when the peaks mirror themselves in turquoise water and the meadow at the edge is riotous with bloom. Kim Smith renders that moment with warmth and precision — a grizzly and her two cubs padding through fireweed and columbine, towering pines anchoring a sky crossed by Steller's jays and Canada geese, marmots tucked quietly into the rocks below. Every corner of this illustration rewards looking: the light on the snowfields, the small surprises hiding in the foliage, the way the whole scene hums with life without ever feeling crowded. Assembling this 1000-piece puzzle is an act of slow, deliberate pleasure — working color field to color field, discovering each creature as it comes together, moving through the composition the way you might move through a forest: unhurried, attentive. Printed on sustainably sourced greyboard with virtually no puzzle dust, it's designed for the kind of afternoon that stretches comfortably toward evening. The included full-color reference insert keeps the full image close at hand throughout. 1,000 pieces, ribbon cut Finished size: 20 x 27 in Box size: 11.25 x 8.25 x 2.25 in Includes full-color puzzle insert with complete image Virtually no puzzle dust Puzzle greyboard: 90% recycled paper Packaging: 70% recycled paper, FSC-certified Printed with nontoxic inks
