Readers of A Peek at the Peak (The Peak) and e-Peak Newsletter often comment about the beautiful photographs that we publish on the cover of the magazine or online for e-Peak. GPPA's Peak Calendar enables visitors to download a monthly calendar featuring pictures of our area, its people, and events. The downloaded calendar can be used as "wallpaper" for your computer display.

Each month there are three different photographs available. The photographs are related to our mission of preserving  our community's natural environment and enriching its quality of life through communication, education, and service.

If you would like to purchase a copy of your favorite photograph, check out Images from The Peak. You can view a variety of photos and have selected images printed for framing and/or printed on cups, shirts, and other merchandise.
