Naked Hiking in the Desert 2008
It is warm enough in the California winter desert to experience the pleasures of clothes-free exploring. This small group scouted a trail we will use again with a bigger group at a later date. There were parking spots next to the highway, then a short walk around the first bend to naked freedom! No one else was on the trail that day.

Nomad's Notes

At the time, most outings were in the San Francisco area. This one was a couple hours west of Los Angeles in the desert. For the first gallery, I found a few people that agreed to a hike in an area called the Mecca Hills. Our guide was Ron, who I had made contact with through a naked hiking website.

The second gallery with Auto and Amber was actually shot the day before. I had tried to organize a group to go to Deep Creek Hot Springs. I could only get 2 couples to sign up in the time I had, and one was a no-show. The three of us decided to go anyway but as we got to the Bowen Ranch entrance to the trail the weather was turning treacherous.

So we just drove down the highway a couple hours to the town of Desert Hot Springs and found this little valley to shoot in. So it became a shoot with just the two of them. Every outing is a good learning experience. Though the number of people in this sequence is less than I want, it still was worthwhile.
