Caught hiking nude
Return to DiscussionsI love to hike and do it nude whenever possible. Over the years I found places that are not frequented by other hikers due to the difficulty of the terrain. However, there have been a few times that I was caught hiking nude by clothed hikers. I simply say I'm a nudist and hope I haven't offended them. It has never been a problem. In fact, most have stopped and chatted for several minutes about the area, where I hiked, where they were headed, etc. before moving on.My most memorable time was 2 early 20s women came around a curve in the trail. I hadn't heard them nor them me. No way to cover up in time as we were only 15 feet away from each other. We talked for about 5 minutes, almost thought they might decide to hike nude, before we parted ways. Was a great hike!
I've often hiked naked, usually in Spain or Portugal where it is warm. In Spain I hiked naked all day, meting other (clothed ) hijers on the way and exchanging a cheery Ola. In Portugal my hikes have been shorter and often with a nudist friend. My favourate caught there was twards the end of a hike, approaching the nudist beach which was our starting point. We were in the track leading to the beach when a minibus came towards us. My friend had already got dressed and I hid behind a bush. I heard the bus go past with lots of girlish laughter. When I thought it had gone I stepped out. The bus had waited and they all cheered.
I've also done it here in the UK. I know a local historic attraction well, so knew the secret ways in. I started my hike very early in the morning, leaving my clothes at the starting point. I stopped to take photos on the way and must have got carried away. By the time I got near the end of my walk there were quite a few morning dog-walkers arround. I had no option to cover up so I just waited for them to pass.
Here I am waiting the sun was still farly low in the sky.
I don't look at it as getting, just getting seen. Caught implies there is something wrong with what you are doing.
I just go about my business and offer a friendly hello. Most people are amused and it gives them a story to tell. I've never had an issue. Sometime they make a reference to nudity, but I never initiate it.
Of course you have to use some common sense is choosing your location. But the only way for wholesome outdoor nudity to ever become accepted is for people to encounter other people having good clean naked fun.
Nothing like hiking shoes-only! Love it and found sev places not far from home. Met up with clothed walkers sev times only had 1 objection. I sometimes leave all my clothes in the car, esp if its an early morn hike - its lovely to walk as dawn is breaking and get the 1st rays of the sun, so peaceful!
For the last week or so we've had great weather and I have been out for my naked walks everyday. I have a place just on the outskirts of my city along a canal where I can go for hours during the day and not have to worry. There are occasionally people, most on ATVs or motorcycles, but I typically don't worry about them and no one has complained.
I hike nude anytime I can, if I am in a heavily populated textile area, I always have a pair of running shorts handy to slip on (with the lining removed). I have been caught a few times and not able to cover. So far have had no issues. I was passed in Palm Springs at the Murray Canyon (not a nude area, but out of season) by a married couple who stopped and just talked to me about the rest of the hiking trail. We sat there for at least 30 minutes, and as I left, I turned to see them stripping down. Was a great hike. She was topless in seconds as he removed his shorts. Almost went back to hike with them.
Malenudist1966, what a great ambassador to the lifestyle you were! Hopefully, that couple explored other opportunities to get nude and adopted the lifestyle. I have been seen naked hiking twice, once on my hike in San Mateo Canyon west of Temecula, and once on my hike with two friends near Palomar mountain. Both times, it was no big deal, but there was never a conversation. Perhaps in the future, I will stop and see if they want to chat and try to be a good ambassador myself!

I just remembered another funny comment. I was hiking with a friend and we stopped to rest. As we stood there, a couple of border patrol agents came hiking around a bend. We greeted them and one of them said "Well that's a new one." the other guy just snickered. It was pretty obvious that the first guy was new to the job and that encountering naked hikers was nothing new for the other.
Yep, there have been several times when we thought we were alone only to have someone come by. Just a friendly hi and we go on our way. We have never had a bad encounter with anyone.
Just taking some nude pics and they drove up.
Did I scare them?
i enjoy hiking and been seen a few times once i have been seen i never bother to cover up it would ibe as if i was doing something wrong most people say hi or nice day all look . I allways thought iam hiking out in the middel of the woods whats the big deal if iam nude
I have been seen hiking nude by non nudist many times while hiking to Deep Creek Hot Springs but since the springs are known for their clothing optional use most people are fine with it.
I also hike nude in an area near Lake Castaic that is definitely not a nude area but if you are careful it is relatively safe. Over the years there has been several times where I was caught nude while hiking there.Today there is a gate at the entrance to this trail so if there are no cars parked there you know the trail is safe for nude use. That was not the case several years ago. Even though it is posted no motor vehicles allowed, you would occasionally get someone driving along the trail.
It was New Years Day with bright sun and temps in the low 70s, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a nude hike. I was well into my hike when I heard a car coming up the trail ahead of me. I had plenty of time to slip on my shorts before they could see me so everything was fine. As soon as they were out of sight off came the shorts. It was only a few minutes later that I heard another car approaching. This was very unusual to have more than one car in the area but since they were leaving I did not think too much about it. It was a pain to have to put the shorts on again but better safe than sorry. Again I took off the shorts after they were gone and continued on my hike. About 10 minutes later, just as I was getting to a bend in the trail, another car was coming up. This time there was no opportunity to put the shorts on and quite frankly I was rather annoyed with all these cars that I simply held the shorts in front of me as they came closer. There was a young couple in the front and an older woman in the back seat. I decided I had to find out what was going on and even though I was obviously nude I called to them as they went past to ask if there was anyone else still down the trail. They told me there were several car loads still down there where they had celebrated the New Year and were now going home. I thanked them for the info and as they continued on I put the shorts on, turned around and hiked back to my car. Just for your info, the two in the front did not seem to be bothered by my lack of attire and I could have probably stayed nude, however the woman in the back seat was obviously very upset and kept her head turned away the whole time we were talking.
