Suicide Rock - Graffiti in Salt Lake City 1/3

Suicide Rock is Salt Lake's constant canvas.

This spot is encircled by the I-15 and 215 Freeways, and the top of the rock has great traffic visibility. However, up top is usually painted with a fraternity symbol from the University of Utah or a 'Welcome Back' to someone returning from a Mormon mission. But all around the base of Suicide Rock itself is a chill place to get up.

Every beginner with a can of paint comes here, as well as every serious writer working out a new style. The canvas is always changing and the spots don't last long with a lot of turnover. All of these things make Suicide Rock a great place to vibe the pulse of graffiti in Salt Lake.
