Some butthead or buttheads broke into the historic 1912 Hahn’s Peak Lookout near Steamboat and the U.S. Forest Service wants your help tracking them down. 9News reports the vandals broke several windows and the door. Repairs are expected to cost around $5,000. A $100,000 restoration effort was undertaken on the tower and surrounding trails in 2017.   

“We all share these places, they’re on public land and they belong to all of us. And we should treat them as if they belong to us. Take interest in our historic places and what they tell us about our history. Who we are, where we came from. Because those are important lessons. Historic structures are such a tangible way to learn those lessons it’s important to take care of them.” -Emily Katzman Historic Routt County Executive Director

Here is what Historic Routt County posted to their FB:
