"Booby-traps were discovered on the Little Scraggy Trail in the Buffalo Creek Trail System located about an hour west of Denver.

The hazard wasn’t just nails on the trail, but metal spikes lodged in concrete blocks that were buried along the trail with the spikes sticking out.

The Forest Service is investigating the incidents."

that's gnarly and sad and disgusting. buff creek doesn't seem like a busy place to me. maybe weekends, but it was usually empty when i rode in the past. how many trail conflicts could there be out there?

This seems to be getting more and more common. In Dorset, Vermont there was high test fishing line strung across the trail at neck height a few weeks ago. Pretty shitty that its getting to this point.

How does someone even get to that point? Pure evil.

"The nail strips were found on the Little Scraggy Trailhead.

Investigators also received two other reports of sharp objects being left along the road's edge in other areas frequented by bicyclists: 32nd Avenue in Golden, near the Coors plant, which many bicyclists use as a route to Lookout Mountain, as well as on Lookout's Lariat Loop.

The U.S. Forest Service is looking into the current case. If you have any information, you're encouraged to contact the Forest Service law enforcement anonymous tip line at 303-275-5266. A reward may be made available if the info leads to an arrest and/or conviction."
