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
Ripples in the River
In the heart of a thick, untouched forest, where the sun barely penetrated the dense canopy above, flowed the Rive, a tranquil river unknown to most but the creatures that call the wilderness home. The Rive was a hidden jewel of nature, its banks lined with ancient trees, undergrowth teeming with life, and waters clear as crystal, reflecting the world above and around it. This serene place was where our story unfolded, a tale of harmony and the subtle interplay of life's energies.
One tranquil morning, as the first light of day painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, the forest stirred awake. Amidst this awakening, a figure emerged from the foliage, a young woman named Elara, a naturalist who had devoted her life to exploring and understanding the untouched wonders of the earth. Elara, with her bare feet touching softly upon the leaf-strewn ground, moved with a grace that spoke of her deep connection to nature.
Having learned of the Rive from ancient texts and whispered legends, Elara had sought it out, driven by a yearning to witness its untouched beauty and to immerse herself in the essence of the natural world. As she arrived at the riverbank, the sight of the pristine waters took her breath away, and she felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over her.
Without a moment's hesitation, Elara disrobed, standing in her natural state, as pure and free as the world around her. She stepped into the Rive, the cool water welcoming her, enveloping her in its gentle embrace. With each step, ripples emanated from around her, distorting the reflections of the sky and trees, merging with the river's own gentle currents.
As she swam, Elara noticed the life flourishing within these clear waters; fish darting back and forth, the smooth stones on the riverbed, and plants swaying with the flow. It was a dance of life, one that had persisted untold ages before her arrival, and would continue long after she returned to the world beyond the forest. She realized then that she was not an intruder here, but a part of this intricate tapestry of existence, a single ripple in the vast river of life.
Emerging from the water, Elara felt renewed, her spirit infused with an understanding deeper than she had ever known. Here, in the embrace of the Rive, she had touched something eternal, a source of truth that went beyond words, a harmony that existed between all living things.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Elara dressed and prepared to leave, knowing that she could not stay forever in this secluded paradise. However, she carried with her the essence of the Rive, a profound connection to the natural world that would guide her in her journey ahead.
The ripples she had created in the water had long since faded, but their impact lingered, a reminder that even the smallest actions could touch the endless cycle of life, leaving a mark on the world in subtle, indelible ways.
And so, the Rive flowed on, untouched and timeless, a hidden sanctuary where the dance of life continued, ever rekindling the harmony between the natural world and those who sought its truth.

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.
