Authorities are asking for the public\u2019s help with identifying two men who destroyed rock formations at Lake Mead National Park.<\/p>\n

The vandals were captured on camera pushing federally-protected red rock formations to the ground where they crumbled into dust.<\/p>\n

See the video below.<\/p>\n

According to park officials, the now viral video shows two men climbing up rock formations, said to be 140 million years old, at the Red Stone Dune Trail in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area on April 7, 2024.<\/p>\n

A child, who is also on the rocks, can be heard yelling \u201cDon\u2019t fall!\u201d as the men push the rocks to the ground and watch them disintegrate into dust.<\/p>\n
