Go on just about any cave tour in the US, and there’ll be at least one chamber filled with graffiti from sometime before the cave was protected/commercialized(1) as it will have been a popular youth spot. It’s never cleaned up because it’s now historical and gives the guides a good opportunity to lecture against vandalism. (1) choose your preferred description |

It doesn't matter what official designation it has or when it attained it, I'm using "nature reserve" to distinguish it from non-descript fields and planes. The point is that some parts of these amazing places got very easy access for uninterested people as roads and suburbs sprawl... and then the damage happens, but it becomes even worse due to selfies.
