AANR West Club Highlights

Laguna del Sol

Laguna del Sol is one of the premier clothing-optional resorts in the United States. Located on 250 acres near Sacramento, it’s close to the city and yet a world away.

Everyone’s idea of the perfect, relaxing getaway is different. Laguna del Sol aims to provide a full range of active and leisure activities to be enjoyed with the luxury of not having to dress.

Deluxe, modern facilities blend smoothly into the lush, green lawns that cover much of the grounds.

Nudity feels incredibly natural in this beautiful environment. https://www.lagunadelsol.com


RoadRunner Naturists Club

Roadrunner Naturists is an active group of nudists based in northern New Mexico, with most events held in the Albuquerque area.  The average age of our members is 40's to 60's, but ages range from diapers to wrinkles.  Some of us are single and some are married.  Some have school-age children, who accompany us on our outings, and some of our children are grown but still come along when they can.  We are bound together by friendship, a love of the outdoors, and a common belief that there is nothing shameful about the human body.  Our custom is nude when possible and appropriate, clothed when practical.  If we are cold or sunburned, we dress accordingly. http://roadrunnernaturists.com

Short Story

Dawn of Discovery

In the hidden valley of Caluna, where the rivers sang and the trees danced in the breeze, the first rays of the morning sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold. This was a time of awakening, not just for the flora and fauna that called Caluna home, but also for Aria, a young woman whose spirit was as wild and free as the valley itself.

This particular morning was different from all the others. It marked the beginning of an age Aria would later call the Dawn of Discovery. As she stepped out of her modest, leaf-covered abode, she felt an unmistakable stir in the air—a call to adventure that resonated with the core of her being.

Aria had always shared a unique connection with nature; it was her sanctuary, her teacher, and her companion. Today, it seemed, nature had a special lesson in store. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a yearning for discovery, she followed the river upstream, her bare feet treading softly on the moss-covered earth.

The journey led Aria to a part of the valley she had never explored, a secluded glade where the sunlight barely touched the ground, and the air was filled with the musky scent of ancient trees. In the heart of the glade stood a colossal oak, its branches stretched out like the welcoming arms of an old friend.

It was here, under the oak, that Aria found what she didn't know she had been searching for—a hidden grove of luminescent flowers, their petals aglow with the light of a thousand stars. This was a secret garden, untouched and unseen by anyone else in Caluna.

Mesmerized, Aria approached the flowers, her heart beating in harmony with the subtle glow of their light. She reached out to touch one, and as she did, a profound sense of connection washed over her. In that moment, she understood the language of the flowers, the trees, the river—every element of nature spoke to her in a chorus of unity and love.

The discovery was transformative. Aria realized that the beauty of nature was not just to be observed but to be felt in its deepest essence. She discovered that every leaf, every drop of water, and every gust of wind carried within it a story, a lesson waiting to be uncovered.

With this newfound understanding, Aria dedicated herself to preserving the secrets of Caluna. She became the guardian of the hidden grove, protecting its sanctity from those who sought to exploit the valley's wonders. But more importantly, she became a bridge between the humans of Caluna and the heart of nature itself.

Years passed, and Aria's legend grew. She was no longer a solitary figure wandering the valley but a teacher, sharing the lessons of the Dawn of Discovery with all who sought to listen. Under her guidance, the people of Caluna learned to live in harmony with the land, to respect its rhythms, and to cherish its gifts.

The Dawn of Discovery marked the beginning of a new era for Caluna, one where humans and nature coexisted in a delicate balance of mutual respect and love. Aria, with her heart as wide as the valley and her spirit as luminous as the secret garden’s flowers, remained a beacon of hope, a reminder that in every corner of the world, nature holds mysteries waiting to be uncovered, if only one is willing to listen.

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.
