Vandals recently struck at Arches National Park, carving names into sandstone at Frame Arch/NPS
Arches National Park authorities are seeking information on who carved their names into the sandstone at Frame Arch, which is across from Delicate Arch.
The graffiti was discovered last week by park staff.
"If you saw anyone carving or writing on the rock on the Delicate Arch trail, please contact the park via email or phone:
Visitor Information: (435) 719-2299
Business Office: (435) 719-2100
"Graffiti—marking, scratching, chalking, and carving on rocks—is unsightly and illegal," park staff said on Arches' Facebook page. "It damages the rocks and ruins other people's experience in this natural place. Rangers and volunteer groups spend hundreds of hours every year removing graffiti from the park. Help us protect your national park: if you discover graffiti in the park, please let us know."

I don't understand why anyone would mark on nature's beauty .
idiots
Today theme song: "it's all about me!" I would love to see these lowlifes caught and be sentenced to cleaning up the graffiti that others have left -- or spend some serious time in jail. Actually, I kind of prefer that latter option.l
Make that, "... a lot of time in jail."
You have been there. Read 3 comments, so far. Remember the painted graffiti we observed on way to Emerald lake . I took pictures , the perpetrator , 28 years old, even signed her work. I delivered pictures to National Park Traveler . They reported on it & info evolved that she had left her graffiti in 7 western Natl. Parks. This was 21/2 years ago & she has yet to face consequences.
WE are all free do do & say & act in OUR interest only- ( see TRANSGENDERS )- .2 of population, demanding BATHROOM rights while inconveniencing 99.8 % . Political correctness enables all to be right & have their way.
Anyone who does such things is a sick puppy and should be protected from themselves. What a Bonehead!
Stop and think. Every highway in America is vandalized with billboards (pardon me, information). Why would these "boneheads" not get the idea that grafitti is okay? Budweiser gets to do it. And Ford. Why not me? Because this is a national park? What difference should that make? All of America should be beautiful, rather than fragmented into "islands" of beauty.
You get the behavior you select for. This year, the National Park Service wanted to partner with Budweiser. History rests its case.
As usual with today's entitled idiots, it's all about "ME", where "I've" been, what "I" am doing or have done. Do they ever think of anyone other than themselves?
