Art Meets Nature on Utah’s Wildlife Walls

You don’t always need hiking boots or binoculars to spot Utah’s local wildlife – just look at the walls around you! Towering over sidewalks and parking lots, Utah’s Wildlife Walls are vibrant murals by artist Chris Peterson that bring wildlife to the streets. Stretching from Logan to St. George, each mural celebrates a species that helped shape Utah’s identity. Not only that, these larger-than-life murals are paired with accessible wildlife viewing opportunities, inviting visitors to experience both the real-life wildlife and the artistic expression in a beautiful and informative way.
