Nude Camp Out, Sun, Hike & Soak at Scenic July 13-14th
I've reserved Scenic Hot Springs Friday afternoon through Saturday, July 15th, 2012 for the enjoyment of responsible, practicing nudists and naturists who are looking for an opportunity to enjoy being nude in the great outdoors with overnight camping from the night before, soaking in the superb hot spring waters of Scenic, nude hiking on the 40 private acres and within the National Forest surrounding Scenic, or just plain finding one of the many sunning rocks and working on your tan lines.
This opportunity is open to AANR and TNS members, members of recognized local nudist clubs and facilities, and to those who have a nudist affiliation of some sort and show themselves to be responsible practitioners of nudism. You may camp overnight with us . . . get in some rare night-time soaking under the stars at Scenic, or you may just opt to join us on Saturday for a day in the sun.
The gate to Scenic will be opened to attendees at 5pm to allow vehicles further in for those camping overnight. We will also arrange times to open the gate Saturday morning for those just wanting to visit during the day. This is an RSVP event . . . all those not on the list will be turned away from Scenic during our reservation.

What is Scenic Hot Springs?
· Two approximately 8 x 8, 4 feet deep man made tubs on the side
of a mountain about 6 miles (south)west of Stevens
Pass. They are fed from separate natural hot spring feeds.
One is hot, the other is nice and warm, making for a very
pleasant soak.
They are a truly
beautiful hot springs with scenic views of the valley below.
·
The springs are on
private property and we are using them with permission. Since they are private property, nudity is perfectly legal and tolerated on the traditionally clothing-optional property.
.
.
· The springs are located
6 miles west of Stevens Pass on Highway 2. From the gate they are reached by a 1 ½ mile hike
with 1,100 elevation gain. Limited provisions will be made to
open the gate to allow driving partway into the clearcut
with you car, and further on up to the trailhead with a 4wd
HC vehicle. The camping area is within easy walking distance of parking in the clearcut.
· The springs are
reserved exclusively for responsible nudists and naturists with at least some affiliation with the nudist lifestyle . . . or those honestly wanting to learn about and experience the freedom of nude recreation in a safe, family-friendly, and legal environment. Children are more than welcome with their parents.
·
You can come up anytime
on Saturday or come up Friday evening and camp overnight (we will have a potluck meal and practice making smores).

We have use of the
springs until sunset on Saturday (no Saturday overnight
camping)

have the gate open between 5-6 PM on Friday. If you need a later entry let me know and will see what we can arrange. Note: this is primitive camping with no
facilities, so bring all that you need including tables,
chairs and water.
·
You can arrive anytime
on Saturday 7/14 and stay until sunset. You can park at the
gate and walk in to the springs. (Note: the gate will be
unlocked between 9 and 10 AM in order to allow you to drive
part-way to the springs. Non-4WD can travel 1/3 the way and
park there. 4WD with some clearance can travel 2/3 the way to
the springs.)
SSuggestions if you want to camp
We will be camping in the lower NW corner of the property in a historic and traditional camping area. This is forest land and bears have been known to habituate the Scenic slopes, though they have not been seen this season. Practice Bear Protocol (which means do not leave food easily accessible).
The self-imposed ban of campfires is lifted for the campsite itself. You may build a campfire within a campfire ring as long as it is manned and controlled.
Bring your tent, camp chairs, sleeping bag, basic camping amenities. There will be a stand-up propane BBQ with two burners available for cooking. There will also be a supply of potable water for use. Suggestions and contributions for a potluck cookout are welcome.
A temporary pit toilet will be constructed away from the camping area for your use.
For those who wish to go up to the springs for some nighttime soaking, don't forget a headlamp for on the trail. Trekking pole/hiking staff and good hiking shoes are recommended. The hike from the camping area to the springs is about 1/2 an hour. Don't forget a towel.
