Shocking moment vandals destroy protected and delicate natural rock formations in Nevada national park
[MAIL] Visitors to a popular rock site at Lake Mead National Park are being tracked by federal authorities after seriously damaging a formation at the Nevada hiking site.
Officials say the damage occurred last weekend on the north side of the lake, where petrified red dunes make it one of the most well-trafficked areas of the park.
A video taken by a witness to the event, shows two men working hard to shove large chunks of loose rock of the edge of an outcropping.
The video was sent to the National Park Service.
A little girl, the daughter of one of the men, stands behind them, horrified, and screaming intermittently as the rocks fall.
30 days in jail and a $100,000. fine each.
