The Utah Monolith "disappearing" strikes me as "the state park service took it down so it wouldn't become a pilgramage site for people with absolutely no hiking experience or regard for the local ecosystem to pass out in a ravine trying to reach 37 times a week"
Hell yes I was (mostly) right.
It wasn't the park service themselves but these guys are absolute heroes tbh. No piece of plywood trash is worth hundreds of idiots trampling through a delicate desert environment.
