Vandals defaced a boulder and other sites at Yosemite National Park with graffiti over the weekend.

The graffiti was discovered near the Bridalveil Falls Trail and shared online by parkgoer Ando Arakelyan, the Fresno Bee first reported.

Arakelyan’s photos showed a boulder, a door and an informational sign scrawled with the word “Yeti” in spray paint.

He told Outside that he’s seen graffiti at Yosemite with increasing regularity.
