Arizona Hot Spring Report. I hiked through the desert to Arizona Hot Spring on SuperBowl Sunday in January, 2003. Here is my report, which adds to excellent reports by Paul and Don. I was staying in Las Vegas at Our House Las Vegas, a nudist mini-resort (see separate report below). It was a gorgeous day - not a cloud in the sky and about 70F (Nevada winter?). I left Las Vegas at 1 pm Pacific Time, knowing that sunset was at 5 pm. If doing this trip in the afternoon, it’s better to start out 5 hours before sunset, or six hours before the time you want to be back in Las Vegas. In the hotter months, it’s better to start out early in the morning (e.g. 7 am) so as to avoid the hottest part of the day. Warning: it may not be safe to do this hike in the summer months because of very high temperatures... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Arizona Hot Spring Report. November 2002. An open day in Las Vegas before a red-eye flight home meant one thing: time for a hike to a hot spring! Before leaving for this trip I prepared by reading trip reports on NetNude for the closest hot springs, Arizona and Goldstrike Hot Springs, as well as checking out other sites such as soak.net. I also marked out routes to the springs on my GPS to make navigation easier. I decided to try for Goldstrike and the Sauna Cave, but I also took along the directions to Arizona just in case...

Arizona Hot Spring Report. Fall 2002. Arizona Hot Spring (aka Ringbolt Rapids Hot Spring) is located near the Colorado River in northwest Arizona, about 35 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s one of the Southwest’s finest natural hot springs, and a truly wonderful place to soak and relax your nude body and restore your mind. The hot springs flow out of the ground where a desert wash cuts deep into the rock, forming a slot canyon. Spring water seeps from the rock walls and up from underground, where it has been heated by geothermal activity. There are usually 3 or 4 pools of various temperatures built near the source of the springs in the narrow part of the canyon. The pools are created by damming up the waterflow with sandbags and/or large rocks. There’s no sulfur present in these springs, and with a decent flow rate over a gravel bed, the amount of algae formation is negligible.... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Arizona Hotspring Report. The next time you're shivering in the unusually cold winter weather that most of the U.S. has been experiencing, lately, imagine yourself in this setting: As you lay your head back you view the steep rock walls of the narrow canyon rising over you on either side, and through the aperture high above, the clear and sunny Southwestern sky is visible. The canyon floor beneath you is a pebbled bed of ancient desert wash. You hear nothing but the sound of natural spring water as it flows gently through the canyon, spilling over short waterfalls along the way. At this particular spot in the canyon, the spring water seeps from the rock walls and up from underground, where it has been heated by geothermal activity. A natural pool of crystal-clear hot mineral water has formed here. The pool is about 2 feet deep, with a temperature of 106 degrees F. Light wisps of steam rise from the pool's surface in the morning air and you relax and enjoy the solitude as you soak your nude body in this wonderful natural hotspring!...

Kaiser Warm Spring Report. I visited Kaiser Warm Spring twice in April 2002, on the way to and from the 2002 gathering at Shangri La. There was one small soaking pool, about 6 feet in diameter, at the source of the spring. It was built of rock and concrete, with a capped PVC drainpipe in the bottom center. This made draining and cleaning easy. The water temperature was about 90-95*F. The pool looked like it had just enough room to accommodate about 4 friendly adults reclining, maybe 6 or 7 if they were sitting up straight. The spillover from the pool filled a small puddle area for rinsing feet... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Shangrila - First Annual SW Gathering Report. May 2000. Hi all. Thought we would post a brief report of the First Annual SW gathering that was held in New River AZ, beginning May 6th, 2000. We arrived at the resort, Shangri La, about 11:00 am, May 6th. The weather was perfect! It was warm and there were clear skies, and very little wind. Our friends, Ron_Cath and Pres, from the chatroom beat us there. It was a busy weekend at Shangri La, but we managed to find our chairs by the pool, that Ron_Cath and Pres had saved for us. Thanks Ron and Cath and Pres!!! .... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Shangri La II Report included -- Nuding Across America. Summer of 1999. We had planned a great vacation for years and at last the opportunity became available. We have been interested in Civil War history for years and had been reenactors, written magazine articles about the Civil War and been members of several historical associations. Amanda is a high school teacher and needed real examples to put more life into history lessons. We needed to replace one of our cars as it was several years old and we didn't want to drive from coast to coast or have to rent a car. We bought a car through the Internet and were met at Dulles International Airport by the salesman and were on our way.... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Tanque Verde Canyon in Tuscon, Arizona. March 2003. After obtaining info from other's location reports here on Netnude about Tanque Verde, I decided to try it out while on vacation in Tucson. This place is incredible. There are only a total of 20 people who were there during the two days I visited. You can hike, catch some rays, or just sit back and enjoy nature's beautiful scenery. Those of you in Tucson are lucky to have a place like this. Thanks to those who gave great directions to this location. From now on anytime I visit Arizona I will stop by Tanque Verde Canyon. Thanks nudeintexas for the report.

Tanque Verde Canyon. October 2002. I visited this site Oct. 21. 2002, courtesy of NetNude's previous poster. East of Tucson, Az. Take Tanque Verde Road East then becomes Redington St. Redington then become dirt road, drive approximately 1.4 mi. Upper Tanque just past "fire danger" sign with Smokey the Bear on it. At times there is a waterfall there, but not this time of the year. There are several small pools scattered here and there back through the canyon and if one were so inclined, one could slip into a very cold pool to cool off. As with the previous post, I would recommend good hiking or climbing shoes, plenty of water, and make sure that there is no rain in the area. Tanque Verde Falls on the Upper Tanque Verde Canyon Trail. Signs erected to warn of flash flood danger were hand scribed with "NUDE ALLOWED" by friendly naturists. Thanks Dan for the report.

Tanque Verde Canyon. Alice and I left for Tanque Verde Canyon on a beautiful Tucson Friday morning. A half hour later, we arrived at what proved to be one of the best kept secrets in the world of naturism. After a very picturesque hike down the trail, we stopped for a rest at the bottom of the canyon at the falls. .... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Verde Hot Springs in central Arizona, Report. September, 2000. Verde Hot Springs in central Arizona is the site of a former resort, one that hasn't seen paying customers since the 1930's. What's left of the resort is the concrete foundation built around a number pools containing 104 degree water. Verde is a great day trip from Sedona, which is where we were staying. While not that far away from Sedona, if you are thinking of making this trip you'd do well to have a sense of adventure. The last 20 miles of the trip involve a challenging drive down a 1 1/2 lane car-destroying gravel road, a drive that took close to an hour in my Avis-rented Grand Am. The few vehicles that passed me were all trucks - they must have a had a good laugh at somebody driving a car down this road. If I was to do the trip again I'd probably rent a Jeep, which would also come in handy for touring around the desert mesas that surround Sedona...
