Nude Hiking at San Tan Regional Park

I enjoyed a Nude Hike last night at San Tan Mountain Regional Park in San Tan Valley, AZ. The park is just a few miles from my house. I found the perfect time to go (after 4pm to sunset/dark) and found the perfect, remote trail to hike where I would not run into any clothed hikers. However, while hiking nude I did run into 1 Mountain Biker (Male) who raced passed me on the trail. He hardly even acknowledged/noticed that I was nude; it almost made me wonder if he even knew I was hiking nude (it was getting dark and he was racing by so fast that maybe he just saw my bare chest and didn't look below the waist to see I didn't have shorts on). All he said as he was racing by me was "How are you doing?". Maybe this tells me that clothed hikers running into nude hikers is not as big of deal as what I feared it might be. Maybe it's because clothed hikers, being the "naturists" that they are, understand the need to "commune" with nature by hiking nude. And I can tell you there is no better way to commune with, appreciate, and experience the beauty of nature than to get out there in the nude (which explains why I like hiking nude so much). I got on the trail at around 5pm. Hiked an hour in and it took me an hour to get back (2 hours of hiking - which is a good workout for me). Starting back at 6pm the sun was setting and was getting dark quickly. It was at this time I ran into the clothed mountain biker. As I nude hiked back I heard a pack of coyotes off in the distance (only about 1000 feet or more away). The coyotes must have caught their meal (a rabbit or something). I was fine when the coyotes were howling because I could keep track of where they were by the sound of their howling. It was when they stopped howling that worried me because I no longer knew where they were and I starting getting nervous wondering if they might be tracking me and may attack me as a pack. I picked up a good size rock for a weapon just in case, although not sure if this would really help to defend myself. Of course, nothing happened and after a short while I stopped worrying about it and enjoyed my nude hike back to my car. If you have any questions about my nude hiking adventure at San Tan Regional Park don't hesitate to send me a message. Or if you have suggestions on good places to hike nude in Arizona I would like to know. If you have never tried or brave enough to try nude hiking you ought to attempt it. It is a wonderful, exhilerating experience : )
