When rangers kayaked to Arizona’s Antelope Canyon they were greeted by the lingering stench of sewage — and hundreds of feet of graffiti.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area officials said Sunday that rangers found and removed 550 square feet of graffiti at Antelope Canyon.

“They removed 550 square feet of graffiti while talking to visitors about the importance of respecting the rock and each other, by not defacing the natural beauty of Antelope Canyon with graffiti and human waste,” Glen Canyon rangers said in a Facebook post.

City people... Same thing happens to our lakes and rivers. City people come out and trash them like they do their own.

If I were a judge I would tell them to bring in their favorite clothes, their car, etc and right in front of them I would cover it all in graffiti.

How sad and depressing.

I’ve noted graffiti turning up sometimes in nice neighborhoods in recent years. Now the gang banger graffiti bandits are going into the countryside?

Why do these gang types feel such a strong need to mark their territory like that?

When all kids hear in school is what a hateful and racist this country was founded on, why would they respect any work of art or national monument? Look what they did to all the historical paintings and statues. Covered them up or destroyed them because they triggered somebody ... boo hoo boo hoo.

Illegals traveling through Navajo lands? Sad to think they’d trash the place after the Navajo getting hit so horribly by COVID-19.

Hey if it said black lives matter, then it’s a mural. A work of art. Not graffiti.

They’re animals, and it’s equivalent to pissing on things to mark their territory.

I was up at Donner Pass tunnels over the weekend and was disgusted by The amount of graffiti on everything. Animal markings, not Art. People doing this should be prosecuted and jailed. Never should be acceptable.
