Park rangers began receiving reports of the graffiti around 8:15 p.m. local time on May 20 along the Yosemite Falls Trail, one of the park’s oldest historic trails that leads to the top of North America’s tallest waterfall.
In assessing the damage, rangers found about 30 sites along the Yosemite Falls Trail spray painted with white and blue graffiti, officials said Sunday in a post on Facebook.
Photos shared by park officials show rocks with the words "Fresno," along with other graffiti. The vandalism ranged in size from one foot by one foot to as large as eight feet by eight feet."If you were on the trail to the top of Yosemite Falls between 6 pm and 11 pm on May 20, 2022, and saw individuals carrying cans of spray paint, engaging in tagging, or have video or photographic evidence, please let us know by visiting go.nps.gov/SubmitATip," Yosemite National Park officials said in the statement.
