GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Authorities are investigating reports of a naked man confronting female hikers on trails in the midvalley region, incidents that reportedly go back to 2009.
Garfield County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Tanny McGinnis confirmed on Thursday that the investigation is “extremely active right now” and encouraged area residents to report any such incident immediately.
None of the incidents reported so far have involved physical violence or interaction in any way, McGinnis stressed.
According to McGinnis, the incidents have been reported on the Red Hill hiking and mountain biking trails, the Rio Grande Trail and Catherine Store Road (County Road 100) east of Carbondale, and the Lorax Trail off the Thompson Creek Road (County Road 108).
An investigation is under way to determine if the different incidents are related or if there is more than one man exposing himself to women in the woods.
