Nude Hiking
You haven’t lived until you’ve hiked naked!
Have you ever been walking along, in the wilderness or otherwise and thought “Gee, this would feel even better with out clothes”? Hiking nude may be the ultimate experience of freedom. Nothing between you and the air allows you to totally relax and become one with the environment.
Now, finding a place to hike nude is not always easy. You may be lucky enough to live near a nudist resort with adequate trails. If not, you can find sufficiently remote areas of state and federal parks where you are unlikley to encounter anyone. Usually if you do encounter someone, they will not report you nor have an unfavorable reaction. It is considerate, however, to have a pair of shorts handy in case you see them before they see you. Types of suitable terrain could be anything hikable, from forests, to mountains to deserts. Your items you want to carry can be kept in a back-pack or fanny-pack. As with clothed hiking, keep in mind sunscreen and insect-repelling needs.

Hiking Naked - Naked Body, Naked Mind
this is so incredibly self indulgent. Some of us don’t want to see your naked selves. Getting naked in privacy is fine, but hiking on public trails where others go is a great example of the self indulgent narcissist whose own desires always trump common courtesy.
Go for it - we non-nudists can adjust.
As a naturist myself, I have experienced the freedom of nude hiking on many occasions. Quiet. open spaces such as the mountains provide plenty of opportunities to go hiking naked without offending others - I carry a pair of shorts close to hand to cover up in case I see others approach.
