What it sells
Wild Tribute is a Salt Lake City company whose park caps are either a fine-line sketch of one landmark or full-color road-trip art. Most are truckers with a mesh back.
The sketch caps have a cotton front and polyester mesh, while the road-trip caps are all polyester. Every cap is one size with an adjustable back, and the park-store listings say it’s a snapback.
