When you think of Moab, you probably picture Delicate Arch glowing at sunset, Jeeps crawling over slickrock, or that one guy in Chacos with an ice cream cone bigger than his head. But here’s a little surprise—Moab also has a killer street art scene. Yep, between your hikes and your tacos, you can stroll downtown and find murals splashed across motels, gas stations, and even a car wash.
So grab your camera (and maybe a cold brew from one of the local coffee shops) because here’s your guide to the best murals in Moab—all walkable in a loop right through town.
Location: Bowen Motel, 169 N Main St (corner of Main & 200 N)
Artist: Victor Ving & Lisa Beggs (Greetings Tour)
Description: This oversized postcard mural is Moab’s selfie superstar. Each letter of “Moab” holds a local icon—Delicate Arch, Canyonlands, Wall Street climbers. It’s bright, bold, and screams, “You made it to Moab!”
Location: 168 N Main St
Artist: Nathan Brown
Description: Across the street, you’ll spot a mural of a winding yellow road through Utah’s desert. Pair it with the turquoise lodge doors for one of the most color-popping photos downtown.
Location: Moab Valley Multicultural Center, 156 N 100 W
Description: Vibrant eagles swoop across the wall here—a quick detour off Main Street. Bonus: the Multicultural Center often has community art inside too.
Location: Moab City Car Wash, Main & Grand Ave
Artist: Skye Walker
Description: This huge mountain lion stares down Main Street like it owns the place (spoiler: it kinda does). It’s a bold, desert-inspired piece that perfectly matches Moab’s wild vibe.
Location: Behind Moab Garage, 78 N Main St
Description: Hidden in an alley, this mural is a bit of a treasure hunt. Grab a coffee inside, then wander out back for a quieter photo spot.
Location: Woody’s Tavern, 221 S Main St
Artist: Fuzz
Description: Playful cowboy caricatures decorate Woody’s, where locals have been grabbing beers for decades. Even if you’re just passing by, the mural makes you smile.
Location: Moab Canyon Pizza Co, 500 S Main St
Description: A colorful ode to the dramatic cliffs of Canyonlands. Order a slice and sit outside—you get dinner and a show.
Location: Texaco Station, 555 S Main St
Artists: Terri Lambert & Pierre Sutfin
Description: Yes, one of Moab’s prettiest murals is on a gas station. This bold piece celebrates Arches National Park, and trust me, it makes pumping gas 100% more fun.
Location: Moab Brewery, 686 S Main St
Description: Moab Brewery serves up beer, burgers, and a ram mural that’s basically a mascot for the red rock desert. Perfect lunch + photo combo stop.
Location: South Main & 100 S → follow the path
Artists: Pete “PiMo” Apicella & Adri B Simmons
Description: Along the river trail, you’ll find two gems: a dreamy “Landscape Arch” mural and a striking Frida Kahlo portrait. It’s the quietest stop on the tour and the perfect finale.
Start at Bowen Motel (north end of Main) → cross to Expedition Lodge → detour west for the Eagles mural → back to Main for the Sentinel → slip into the alley for Keeper of the Garage → stroll south to Woody’s Tavern → grab pizza at Canyonlands Mural → snap “Ode to Arches” at the Texaco → stop at Moab Brewery → finish with the River Path murals.
In total, you’ll cover about 1.5 miles roundtrip—aka the perfect “rest day” activity between hikes.
Best Time of Day: Early morning or golden hour—less traffic, softer light.
Parking: Street parking on Main or near the Multicultural Center.
Snack Breaks: Woody’s for casual drinks, Moab Garage for coffee, or the Food Truck Park for variety.
Photo Gear: A wide-angle lens or phone setting helps capture the big murals without standing in traffic.
Moab isn’t just about hiking boots and red rocks—it’s also about creativity splashed across its downtown walls. Whether you’re a mural collector (hi, that’s me 🙋♀️) or just looking for a fun way to stretch your legs between national park adventures, this walking route is the perfect way to see another side of Moab.
