Authorities this week said they want to find anyone involved in the installation of climbing bolts at the site of an ancient outdoor engraving in northeastern Utah.
Climbing bolts, also known as anchors, were discovered at the site of the Pregnant Sheep Petroglyph Panel on federal land in the northeastern corner of the state on Nov. 10, the Uintah County Sheriff's Office said.
On Thursday, the sheriff's office and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management asked for the public's help in tracking down anyone involved in the installation of bolts near Highway 40's Musket Shot Springs Overlook, which is about 11 miles from Dinosaur National Monument in neighboring Colorado.
In a statement on Facebook, the bureau characterized the act as vandalism.
The sheriff’s office characterized the installation as having taken place on the petroglyph panel. Sheriff’s officials did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
