That's an awesome video BPG. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Let's embed that puppy.

I sure hope the falls stays clean for awhile. If nothing else the clean up mobilized the community, inspired a bunch of folks and hopefully showed the larger community that people care. ~z

I've heard through the grapevine that the graffiti has started to come back already. Haven't been there recently to see for myself.

With the abuse at this rate of occurrence it wouldn't be too hard to set up game cams or live surveillance to bust some butt knuckles in the commission of their crime

Isn't there an easier way of covering up the graffiti? Maybe painting over it. I commend the hard effort put in with the pressure blasters etc but if they are going to keep coming back and re tagging it is there an easier way of cleaning it?

There's no such thing as "rock colored paint" that would both look natural and sufficiently cover pre-existing paint.

^ Not to mention you'd be introducing some sort of nasty substance into the water when it floods or after heavy rains - no paint in the known universe is going to adhere to rock permanently - and the water downstream is probably suitable habitat for bull trout or some other threatened or endangered species.
Paint = non-starter.

At least this can be removed and it's not kids starting another Eagle Creek Fire

I agree. But I would rather kids do this then get into more serious crimes or drugs. Who knows maybe someday they will reminisce about the time spent down there and maybe they will start hiking and respecting nature. Their guilt may even cause them to join WTA work parties some day. It's easy to blame the youth for their actions, but just remember we all were young and dumb at some point, we all made mistakes. I try not to be too hard on them cause I packed WAY to much on my first backpacking trip and left trash to try and cut weight.( Maybe someone on here ended up packing it out someday even) I am not proud of it but I have packed out more than enough trash to make up for it that I found on trails since. Just remember we were all young and dumb at a point instead of criticizing these actions when you see it maybe take it as an opportunity to teach them a valuable lesson. (Not saying anyone on here criticized anyone or acted out in appropriately just a broad example)

I place part of the blame on WSDOT and the Forest Service for the increased attraction of these falls. The Forest Service recently put up a trailhead sign and DOT aligned the guard rails on a narrow shoulder to allow a couple of cars to park. A few more can squeeze in on the opposite side of the highway. It's the most dangerous spot IMO on the entire drive to Stevens Pass and I've seen one fatality there myself. Cars are coming down a long straightaway by Barclay Creek and often speeding and passing, not slowing down, and then they come around the bend and immediately encounter all the foot traffic to the falls.
