The LA Times article says the perps were bragging about their exploits on
'social media'. I think we have a new paradigm for 'pathetic'.

We were up there Sat, and it was depressing to see as we rambled back down the canyon after climbing. Not much of it, and concentrated right near the waterfall/potholes but already spreading since the last time I was up there in the fall.
Not sure WTF they think "closing" the area will do. And I have no plans to obey said closure either. Closure is not an acceptable management strategy for a public resource where 99.99% of users are not part of the problem.

Then go f*#king arrest them, and stop with the knee jerk bs of "closing" it to the rest of us.

The Park Service should be encouraging more real nature lovers to go up there
especially if they have cameras.

The grafitti in question was done in '92 and '94 ( according to the dates painted ). And just now, twenty years later, they get around to addressing the problem?
No wonder everything's so f*#ked-up in Joshua Tree.

Chaz, the article says "damage has now affected archaeological sites."

FWIW,
The grafiti on Barker Dam has exploded exponentialy since they put a fence around it.
Closing the area won't help.

Me thinks this is all leading up to a possible entrance fee at Indian Cove . The NPS will use the vandalism as a justification.
