Camp in the Buff at These Clothing-Optional RV Parks
They say there’s an RV park for every type of traveler. That even includes campers who prefer to camp without clothes. The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) boasts more than 30,000 members, many of whom own RVs. Several campgrounds across the U.S. cater to them by making clothing optional in the park. Campers enjoy common RV park amenities, such as pools, gyms, and recreational facilities, in the buff. Though there are no rules for what you wear, most parks have policies in place to keep the emphasis on clean, safe fun, and to prevent gawkers from intruding. Those who own clothing-optional RV parks have reported an uptick in business for 2020, as interest in both RVing and nudism grows.

The 8 Best Winter Hiking Trails in the U.S.
As chilly temperatures settle in, many normally bustling national parks become quiet. Winter is a perfect time to hike Zion’s Watchman Trail, Acadia’s Gorham Mountain Trail, or Mount Ranier’s Mazama Ridge Trail. Or head to Colorado and take a break from the ski hills to hike Telluride’s Jud Wiebe Trail or the Roundabout Trail in Steamboat Springs. For trailside waterfalls, don’t miss the Cumberland Trail in Cumberland Trail State Park. And if you want to avoid the snow and cold, check out the Florida Trail in Suwannee River State Park, Florida, or the Cape Falcon Trail in Oswald West State Park, Oregon.
