Finally made it to De Anza on my way to/from Scottsdale, Az where I attended and led a bicycle Hub and Spoke Tour with 7 other Canadians. Really enjoyed riding the rail trail to the gated tunnel / stock yard with my Surly touring bike. Next time I will bring a light to venture further into this tunnel. My favorite hike was the trail that paralleled the rail trail. I also hiked the NE trail and Temple Peak. Stopped at the ropes because I want to live a long life! I thought the trails were well documented in the library and they were also showing on my Garmin 64S GPS which I had loaded with an OSM map. Enjoyed a tour with Elly to Oak Springs and the Stone Tower. I tented Dec 14 - Dec 18. Yes, my tent survived very well with 50 MPH winds and I had to line inside with rocks Dec 15 and 16! I was advised by Tina to come back in March. Just hope the CDN $ doesn't drop anymore. Loved the salt water pool and hot tub. Goggles not needed!
There are textile people in the resort as the only nude required area areas are the pools and hot tub. I've hiked out in the desert many times and never take any clothing along other than shoes and a hat. I suppose in Carrizo Gorge there may be a chance of encountering clothed hikers or mountain bikers as it is a listed trail yet the only encounters I have had which are rare are other nude hikers.
I did encounter some vehicles once while hiking on the other side of the mountains north of the resort. They were 4X4 driving an old mining road. We just stepped to the side of the road so they could pass and they waved as they went by. This was on a Saturday. During the week it is just you and the wild life or maybe another nude hiker or two. Pretty deserted. I'd wait until heat breaks for any extended hiking now.
