5 Places You Can Be Legally Naked in Arizona
Arizona can get hot. Really hot.
There are plenty of ways to beat the heat across the state, but no matter what, you'll always have a thin layer of material over your body adding to the heat factor.
But what if there was a place where you didn't have to worry about that?
Here's five places across the Grand Canyon State that ask you to leave your clothing at the door.
El Dorado Hot Springs
Located just outside of Tonopah, this hot spring is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty that you can take in while grabbing a soak in your birthday suit. The mineral water filling the springs is naturally heated, and will awaken your primal nature as you enjoy all the beauty El Dorado has to offer.
Mira Vista Resort
Built on the remains of a 19th century property outside of Tucson, Mira Vista is a luxury "clothing-optional" resort that still holds onto its roots. Enjoy luxury amenities juxtaposed with centuries old buildings as you live life freer.
Bartlett Lake
Deep in the Tonto National Forest lies Bartlett Lake, a clothing optional lake perfect for a day out without the burden of swimwear. The lake is completely surrounded by the Arizona wilderness, which makes for a (maybe private) picture perfect afternoon.
Arizona Sunburst Inn
The Sunburst Inn lies in the heart of the Grand Canyon State, and stands as the state's premiere nudist bed and breakfast. This inn is on the smaller side, and all the rooms are themed, giving this getaway a more intimate feel.
Tanque Verde Falls
Rounding off the list is the beautiful Tanque Verde Falls, a waterfall and swimming hole outside of Tucson that is, once again, clothing optional. While the hike to the falls is a steep climb, the cliffs and wildlife you'll see once you make it to the falls are one of a kind, and don't forget how good the spring water will feel on your bare skin.
All of these experiences are worth checking out if you're interested in the nudist lifestyle, but remember, please still wear clothes when you're out in public.
