SALT LAKE CITY With the COVID-19 pandemic driving so many people to the great outdoors in Utah, the great outdoors is becoming not so great in some instances.
At Zion National Park’s Narrows, a ranger cleared out 14 pounds of debris of which 9 pounds was human waste.
The ranger said he’d never seen the graffiti so egregious in an area covering just under a mile that was marred with more than 1,000 handprints or etchings on the rock walls.
“While it hurts to see such a beautiful and unique place treated like this, I feel honored I have the responsibility to protect it,” the employee’s report said.
