Next year when I go to Bay to Breakers, I’m gonna plan on going exactly like him. Except I’ll have my iconic cowboy hat instead.

To complete Utah’s Mighty 5, I visited the three national parks found in the eastern half of the state. During my trip, I encountered a storm which at times proved miserable and others dramatic and unique. It meant I could explore in solitude as I prefer and be naked in some awesome places!

A naked man overlook the cloudy landscape in Capitol Reef National Park. The snow covered Henry Mountains are seen in the background. Red rocks shoot out from the ground forming dramatic cliffs and reefs.

A nude man stand on top of wet red rocks which partially mirror the stormy skies above. He dominates the famous Delicate Arch in front of him. Separating the two, is a deep hole from which an escape would be difficult in these conditions.

A naked man stands on the edge of a steep cliff. He overlooks a large plateau in Canyonlands National Park. Some clouds obscure the view of the other side of the canyon. In the far left, the Green River separates the Island in the Sky from the Maze districts.

A nude man over looks a vast canyon that is not in frame. In front of him, are two tall cliffs where the Shafer Trail hugs the canyon walls down to the plateau below. The red rocks here nearly blend with his skin, an indicator that he belongs to nature as he is presented here.

The Southwest has some amazing views and stunning geology. I’ve passed by these spots before but I decided to check them out for once. The hikes were short and rather easy. You can come upon great views away from crowds if you just press further than where most people stop.

I usually look up naked places whenever I travel. I drove to Denver for a concert and on my way back, I decided to check out Dream Canyon. Supposedly, it’s used by nude bathers yet I was the only one there! Makes you wonder how any river can be clothing optional if no one is around anyway.

A few weeks go I visited some sand dunes. Despite in being on BLM, nudity was explicitly prohibited, which is unusual. However, I saw no way to really enforce this if you head far enough into the dunes. Additionally, the few people there made it much easier to enjoy nature as intended

I took a trip to Wreck Beach while staying in Vancouver, BC. I braved the cold and wind to stay naked and I’m glad I did. The sun provided enough warmth to keep me naked throughout the day. Sadly, not enough nudists came today despite the mild weather. #naturism #nudism #nudebeach #wrechbeach

Me walking away from my clothes. Visible is my red and blue flannel, two Xero boots, a white shirt, two gray socks, blue jeans and belt, and light gray underwear. I’m nude with my right foot on the trail and the other taking a step

While many resorts in SoCal close down, those in Arizona flourish. Probably because it’s too hot for clothes anyway! Copper Cactus Ranch is a quaint little resort for men located near the Superstitions. You can explore the desert or mingle with other men in a casual atmosphere. #naturism #desert

Death Valley was one of the most unique places I’ve been to. Sand, salt flats, flooded lakes, and scenic mountains made this a spectacular visit to finish off 2023. #naturism #naked #sanddune

Me covered in sand at the bottom of a dune. It was hard to run down and up it, as sand kept me sliding around. It’s easier to step with your side and glide down with gravity

I signed up for OhNaturist and I didn’t even last ten minutes before I decided to give up on it. Incredibly slow and unresponsive, it’s like trying to use Internet Explorer. If I can ever load that crap up, I’m deleting immediately

A few years ago, I was a life model for art students. I was nervous being nude on a platform, more so than being nude in public at WNBR. It was a great experience and the students were very talented. I hope to do this kind of work again. I already dress the part! #naturism #artmodel #art #lifemodel

In December of 2023, I took a trip to Death Valley to see the flooded salt flat of Badwater Basin. Rain from the hurricane that hit SoCal a few months earlier ended up forming the seldomly seen Lake Manly. #nudeswithwater

On a visit to the Grand Canyon, I was able to find some spots away from all the tourists and take in the incredible beauty of this place. I was struck by the depth and expanse of the canyon, seemingly going forever. Hopefully, one day I will be able to hike down to the river below!

On a trip to Zion, I decided to visit the lesser seen side of Zion NP. Fewer crowds allowed for more peace and new views. I did run into some hail and snow which made it a bit scary but otherwise scenic. A bit later in the day, the sun came back and warmed up enough to delayer.

Me walking to a red rock covered in some moss.Some short trees can be seen. The tall red walls of Zion can be seen with a dusting of snow

I pretend to either be cold or covering up from being seen, of which neither is true. Though it was below freezing, I wasn’t very cold. And I walked a bit away from my car so I could not be seen by the passing cars

Me walking to a fallen log. In front of me is a cliff and not seen is a river running about 20 feet below me. Some snow is on the ground which did make it feel cold

The gorgeous views of East Zion. A silty river allows snow melt to pass on. Some trees dot the landscape and some fresh snow has landed on the taller cliffs

Last winter, I drove up to this abandoned water park near Barstow. It was eerie exploring this place and looking through the ruined buildings. On a return visit, one building had burned down, demonstrating how fragile this place is to Mother Nature

Black’s Beach is my favorite nude beach in Southern California. It’s situated next to UCSD and requires a short hike down the cliffs. It’s usually very busy and it feels wonderful to walk a mile up and down the beach naked and free! Often, the sky will be overcast but still allow one to go nude

Me resting on the wet sand. Kelp and shells have washed up on shore. The cliffs of Torrey Pines and paragliders can been in the back.

Watch out for wildlife when hiking down!

Across the years, I was able to visit Olive Dell Ranch many times. It became my favorite resort due to its friendly atmosphere, abundance of events, neat trails, and a great place to meet people of all ages and backgrounds! Sadly, this year the new owners announced they will become a textile resort.

Last year, SoCal received a tropical storm warning which brought a ton of rain. It was not nearly as much as other times it has rained but I needed to go experience it! A few road closures led me up into the mountains where I found peace in the storm.

Me walking in a wet empty road uphill. The gray skies indicate heavy rain and wind. Some trees and the hills can be seen in the back

Im kneeling down on a rock. One arm is made into a fist and on the ground. There are more trees and hills with dead grass by the rock. The sky is gray and cloudy

Last year, I went to see the Perseids Meteor Shower in Joshua Tree. It was a hot day so of course I had to get naked! My inner goat had me climb up the boulders as I did as child. I stayed for a while to watch the meteors but left when clouds rolled in and due to traffic build up.

Me naked on a massive boulder pushing up a boulder like Sisyphus. More boulders are in the slope of the large rock and some desert trees can be seen. A large mountain forms the horizon

I visited Pinnacles NP during a heatwave but found refuge in some of the caves. It’s a neat little park but it was not as impressive as some of the other parks I have been to. As you hike around, you may find water snakes, condors, and even bats!

Near Seattle is the Tiger Mountain Nudist Resort. I stayed here while I was returning from a trip to Olympic NP. It’s a quaint resort with some nice trails through the forest. I tried a few neat poses and ran across my favorite animal - the black bear! And not to mention camping is cheap

Me standing naked before a tall tree. The tree is blocking the sun and casting a shadow. The moss on the tree glows in the sunlight

I’m standing awkwardly trying to keep a large leaf between my legs and crotch. Lush green trees pain the trail around me

I’m walking naked and barefoot across a trail in the forest. The trees cast a maze of shadows across the trail and other vegetation

A barely visible black bear hides and scurries away upon seeing and hearing me. The hill is less covered in trees than the trail, giving the bear less foliage to hide in

The forests become more lush and green as you drive further north on the Pacific Coast. This trail in the Redwoods was barely used by hikers as I passed through. It connects to a beach on the coast and the popular Fern Canyon.

I am standing naked on a trial. Behind me is a moss covered log. In front of me are tall, mossy trees with vibrant green leaves. To my sides and tall ferns growing in the back slope of the trial and on top of each other.

A friend of mine suggested I hike the Panorama Trail in Yosemite. It was a tough hike but worth it for the views and solitude. As I crossed this bridge over Illilouette Falls, I encountered a nude bather and decided to join him. It was a great way to refresh in the river and bask in the sun.

I am standing naked on rocks by the river that makes the Illilouette Falls. The river rushes in the back, fueled by snowmelt from the Sierras. The lush forest stands tall in the back.

Hello everyone! This is the first picture I posted on my IG two years ago. It was a wonderful feeling to get naked in the rain in Yosemite. Since then, I’ve gone all over to enjoy nature in my most comfortable attire.
