SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) _ Authorities in Arizona say they're looking
for people who encountered a nude hiker from Utah.

The 61-year-old man is accused of telling women that he sheds
clothes because he's ``getting close to nature.''

Yavapai County sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn says deputies
recently were called to a trail in Sedona by two women who had been
confronted by John Mosley. He offered to take pictures of the
women.

Deputies eventually found the St. George, Utah, man after other
people reported that he was hiding. He was arrested on
indecent-exposure charges and released. Mosley could not be reached
for comment in St. George.
