BOISE, Idaho — Boise Police are asking for help identifying whoever carved large designs into a hillside at Camel’s Back Reserve— a move that’s now causing erosion and undoing years of restoration work.
The damage happened on both sides of the popular sand chute near the 9th Street Trailhead. Police say what might look like simple vandalism is a bigger problem because it threatens the long-term health of the hillside.
“Damage like this not only leads to hillside erosion but reverses years of work to maintain the natural qualities of Camel’s Back Reserve,” police said in a social media post.
