AANR West Club Highlights

Front Range Naturists

Sequoians is a social nude membership club that caters to its members, affiliated club members, members' guests, and new visitors considering membership. Everyone can enjoy nude recreation in our safe and family-friendly forest park-like setting. Sequoians is a cooperative; members pool together to create fun activities and events — it is also a place where members enjoy days of nude relaxation, tanning, swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, camping, hiking, wildlife, bird watching, lawn games, and other activities.

During the club’s Open Season (April through October) visitors may visit three times on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays before deciding if they’d like to apply for membership. Membership entitles them to continued access to Sequoians’ grounds for the purpose and enjoyment of nude recreation. https://sequoians.com

Mira Vista Resort

Welcome to Mira Vista – America’s “newest” and “oldest” clothing-optional resort. Mira Vista opened in May of 2006 under a new name and a new policy of wholesome nude recreation on an old property with a history dating back to the 1850s.

The resort is a step back in time, starting with the main building, hacienda, home to the lobby, office, dining room, gift shop, library, and Old West saloon. Fourteen guest suites in original adobe-style buildings are accented with local rock and mortar walls. The 30-acre grounds are filled with mature trees, saguaro cacti, and many other native desert plants. Desert animals and birds are plentiful, and sightings are common in this largely rural area.

It’s hard to believe that this great escape from the city is just 3 miles from Interstate 10. Words and pictures can’t convey all of the special charm and character of this unique resort. Being able to enjoy it all clothes-free just adds to the level of relaxation. Mira Vista is open to day visits. https://miravistaresort.com/

Mira Vista Resort

The Rocky Mountain Naturist Club is an AANR non-landed Club open to everyone, whether a member of the American Association for Nude Recreation or not. Our mission is to promote clean and wholesome social nudism/naturism in the greater Denver area by providing a safe and secure environment for like-minded people to come together and share in family-oriented activities and gatherings.

Our gender-balanced membership consists of a diverse and non-judgmental group of naturists who believe that nudism/naturism is not about sex but about body freedom and unconditional acceptance of the human form regardless of shape, size, skin color, or sexual identification.  We welcome and accept everyone in our club for the people they are, and you will always find a diverse mix of people of all types and backgrounds at our events.

Nudity is always optional at our gatherings. Most people exercise the option to be totally nude, while others may be partially nude. We respect your right to choose the amount of clothing you need for your own level of comfort. There is never any pressure to be totally nude at our events.

Short Story

Naked Kayaking Expedition

Amidst the serene archipelago where the waters danced with countless hues of blue and green, there was an unspoken promise of adventure and communion with nature. Here, a group of naturists has set out on an ambitious journey: a naked kayaking expedition. Seeking the purest connection with the sea, the wind, and the sun, they prepared to paddle through the day, exposed to the elements and liberated from societal constraints.

Mia, an experienced kayaker and passionate advocate for the naturist lifestyle, was the guiding spirit of the expedition. Her vibrant energy was contagious as she unpacked her kayak, her skin already shimmering with the morning dew and the first kisses of the day’s sun.

The group members, though varied in their kayaking proficiency, shared a collective anticipation of what lay ahead. They believed that navigating the waters in their natural state would foster an intimate bond not just with each other, but with the very essence of life’s fluidity.

As they launched their kayaks, the chill of the open water greeted their unclothed forms. They felt every ripple, every wave, as personally as a breath of air – the sensation was exhilarating, a silent vow of presence in the moment.

The journey began with laughter and encouraging shouts that bounced off the water and mingled with the cries of gulls overhead. Together, they paddled in a synchronized rhythm, as if their hearts beat in unison with the gentle slap of waves against the hulls.

Along rugged coastlines and secret coves, they wove their way, the scenery an ever-changing backdrop to their adventure. The intimacy of their nakedness was eclipsed by the majesty of nature that unfurled around them – dramatic cliffs that rose like titans from the sea, forests that whispered secrets from the shoreline, and the vast sky above, a canopy of freedom.

Amidst the expedition, Mia decided that the group should rest in a secluded bay. The rest were welcomed with open arms as the naturists basked on the sun-warmed rocks, their bodies glistening with saltwater as they laid out a picnic of fresh fruits and nuts. Conversation flowed with the ease of the surrounding sea, discussions of their shared experiences, and reflections on the sensitivities they’d awakened to by kayaking without any barriers between their skin and the saltwater world.

As day turned to evening, with the setting sun casting a golden glow on their journey, Mia guided them to an uninhabited islet that would be their camp for the night. Here, they built a fire and settled around its warmth, each in reflective contemplation of the day’s exploits. The flickering flames lit their unclothed figures, casting a primal tableau against the canvas of the night.

They spoke of the sensation of the water's currents against their bodies, about how each stroke felt amplified through direct contact with the ocean as if they were a part of it. There was a shared sense of vulnerability, not from their nakedness, but from the immensity of nature itself, a feeling that was both humbling and empowering.

As the stars stitched patterns above them, the group slept under the open sky, the gentle lull of the sea rocking them into dreams filled with the day's memories.

Their naked kayaking expedition was not a simple journey across the water; it was a profound exploration of their connection to the world and to themselves. Stripped of all pretenses and distractions, they experienced life with raw clarity, their exposed bodies symbolizing the trust they held in nature's embrace.

The expedition continued over the days, each stroke and each shared glance further fusing their bond with the water and with one another. When the journey concluded, and they returned to the starting point, the group was not the same. They had traversed more than just distance; they had navigated an uncharted expanse within themselves.

Their naked kayaking expedition was an odyssey of discovery, a testament to the peace and depth that one can find when they truly unite with the elemental forces of the earth, unshielded and unabashedly alive.

The Many Names We Take Pride In

Our organization has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, with a focus on providing more detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the locations where we practice and enjoy our nudist lifestyle. While terms such as "nudist colony" or "nudist camp" may have been accurate in the past, we now prefer the use of terms such as "nudist clubs," "parks," or "resorts," which better reflect the diverse and welcoming nature of our community. Additionally, we have adopted new terminology to describe ourselves, including naturists, nudists, or members of clothing-optional organizations, highlighting the positive and respectful aspects of our lifestyle.

We believe that our lifestyle is grounded in basic human rights, such as the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to be comfortable in one's own skin. Our organization is committed to ensuring that these rights are protected and respected, and we work tirelessly to promote acceptance and understanding of our way of life. In addition to advocating for top freedom, social nudism, and family nudity, we also support a range of initiatives aimed at promoting body positivity and inclusivity, including educational programs, community events, and outreach activities. By working together, we can build a more open and accepting society that values diversity and celebrates the beauty of the human form.
