GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.–The Bureau of Land Management is offering a cash reward for information leading to the identification of suspects responsible for recent vandalism in the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area.
On June 28, BLM staff reported numerous spray-painted graffiti on rocks in the Potholes Recreation Site. The vandalism likely occurred a few days prior to their discovery.
