Inscription.
Artist Marilyn Brame designed the Mountain Wall in 2001, as part of the Terra Native/Celebration of the Native Land Earth Day event.

Constructed or concrete with an overlay of mosaic tiles, the Wall educates the community about the iconography of the City.

Featuring Lake Mission Viejo, the Saddleback Mountains, and the mission bell scrolls and bonnets on City streetlights, symbols integral to the City are portrayed in the design.

Community members worked alongside the artist to illustrate historic emblems of Mission Viejo's history.

Erected by City of Mission Viejo.
