SALT LAKE CITY — The 20-pound spiked boulder was rigged to swing at 
head-level with just a trip of a thin wire — a military-like booby trap set 
on a popular Utah canyon trail.

Any unsuspecting hiker exploring the makeshift dead-wood shelter could have 
fallen prey.

Two men arrested over the weekend on suspicion of misdemeanor reckless 
endangerment told authorities the traps were intended for wildlife, but 
investigators don't believe the story.
