The Foothills Trailheads: Bike Rack Murals public art project features 10 unique bike rack murals painted by local artists, celebrating the ecological importance and rich natural and cultural diversity of Salt Lake City’s Foothills. These murals incorporate imaginative art elements, offering visitors a visually rewarding experience at the trailheads.

This project spans two locations: the Bonneville Boulevard Trailhead and Popper Park Trailhead at 1401 Popperton Park Way. These trailheads serve as major confluences and urban interfaces for the Foothills trails, connecting several Salt Lake City landmarks, including the Avenues neighborhood, the Utah State Capitol, and the University of Utah. We encourage you to explore both trailheads to see all 10 bike rack murals. Each bike rack features a sego lily cutout in the tires, designed by local artist Derek Ballard.

This project was made possible through the Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program, with support from the Salt Lake Art Design Board, Salt Lake City’s Department of Public Lands, community stakeholders, and the artists.
