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.

Stop 1: “Greetings from Moab”

• 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!”

Stop 2: “Expedition Lodge”

• 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.

Stop 3: Eagles Mural

• 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.

Stop 4: “Sentinel of Moab”

• 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.

Stop 5: “Keeper of the Garage”

• 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.

Stop 6: “Drinks” (aka Drunk Cowboys)

• 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.

Stop 7: Canyonlands-Inspired Mural

• 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.

Stop 8: “Ode to Arches”

• 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.

Stop 9: Rams Head Mural

• 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.

Stop 10: River Path Murals

• 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.
