A photo Vanessa Hudgens posted of a possible carving into Sedona red rock.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend, actor Austin Butler, are in trouble after she posted a photo on Instagram that appears to show they carved their names into one of Sedona's precious red rocks.

After posting multiple photos of her romantic Valentine's Day getaway with Butler in Sedona, many with the hashtag #sedonadreams, she posted the incriminating evidence.

The photo: "Austin + Vanessa" with a heart around it on the red rock.

The problem: It's illegal to damage Sedona's rocks.

"Happy Valentine's Day boo boo bears," she wrote as the photo's caption before later removing it.

The remnants of their tryst in the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest is punishable by a minimum $100 fine and/or three months in jail and a maximum $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail.

The incident is "currently under investigation," said Brady Smith, a Coconino National Forest spokesman, though he couldn't reveal any other details.

"It’s a common occurrence in that area that we have a challenge with and we try to education people on," he said.
