A popular Vernal mural is among a group of murals across the state that is part of the Wildlife Walls Mural Trail contest this summer. The Wildlife Walls Mural Trail links 14 wildlife murals across the state; each one created by SLC-based artist Chris Peterson. The murals depict local species and in the case of the Vernal location, the mural is of massive Colorado River cutthroat trout located adjacent to Highway 40 facing 100 East. “The interactive mural trail map pinpoints these vibrant artworks and also provides location information for more than a hundred nearby wildlife viewing areas and attractions,” shares the announcement. “Participants who visit a mural or designated wildlife viewing area and share their experiences on social media will be entered into monthly and grand prize drawings. Every visit counts as a separate entry, increasing the chances to win. The grand prize award is $5000 cash with additional monthly prizes from partners such as Springbar, Flycraft, The North Face, Smith, Spinner Fall, Patagonia and more.” Learn more at www.wildlifewalls.org.
