Come and enjoy year round warmth and tranquil desert surroundings at SHANGRI LA RANCH. We believe that the best way to welcome newcomers to the nudist lifestyle is to allow them to ease into the nude environment at their own pace, therefore SHANGRI LA RANCH is clothing optional. We are a family...

So I went to Shangri-La Ranch yesterday for the first time. I did drive there nude registered nude spent the whole day nude and drove home nude so it was a win-win day for me. The office staff was dressed but that's okay I've yet to run into office staff that was nude but I know it exists out there. However they were very nice.

The first thing I did was Park and then try to find the hiking trails. It wasn't easy to find the trails even though the woman at the office drew it on the map. The side next to the riverbed I guess parallels the riverbed but it's a little tough to figure out. Then I ran into somebody towards the bottom of the park who told me that if I curl around I could pick up the other side pretty easily which I did. There it was easy to figure out the rocks line the trail. I did see houses around the desert but I guess as long as you're on the trail you're okay. I didn't want to cause any infractions by being seen nude by neighbors where I wasn't supposed to be but I guess I did it correctly. The trail hiking was fantastic I could have done it all afternoon it just feels so good to be able to walk around outside without any clothes I love that feeling

After I was done with the hike I settled down into a chaise lounge at the pool. There were a lot of people but it seemed they all knew each other so I was sort of an outsider which I kind of expected. This would have been about 2 p.m. the Arizona Sun is pretty strong at that time. But I have a pretty good base tan left over from last year so I didn't burn luckily

Next I took a walk over by the other pool where the volleyball is not taking place. That pool is not heated. I stuck my hand in and it was very cold. This couple actually laughed when they saw me do it. They were very nice and we struck up a conversation and chatted for about a half hour. Then I walked over to the club house just to check it out. It's a pretty nice setup they have a big room with tables unfortunately the restaurant was closed by then.

I then walked back to my original chaise lounge and there was a group of people starting to play a game which I had never seen. Apparently it's called Molkky it's Scandinavian. I was just watching the group of people start to play and one of the players this very nice woman asked if I wanted to play. So I accepted and joined the group of about 10. The game ended up lasting almost two hours. I ended up meeting everybody and knew everybody's name by the time it was over. They all were extremely nice and that woman's gesture to invite me into the game really made my day. I ended with a great feeling and I would love to go back and I can't wait to meet new people that share my love of the nudist lifestyle. All in all it was a great day at Shangri-La I'm planning on going back Thursday

We've been there a few times and we've enjoyed our time. It has helped that we've gone with a member which allows us to meet others more easier. In general I find if I say Hi, it usually starts some type of conversation.

Driving and arriving nude at a nudist resort, spending a glorious day nude and leaving nude is the only way to go. I also do the same thing and last year worked up the courage to not bring any clothing with me at all to a resort that is about 1/2 an hour drive from my place - it was so exhilarating being some distance from home with no clothes.

Hello all. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to my first visit soon. I was wondering if someone could share what the process is for doing a day trip. I cant seem to find anything on the website. Do you have to become a member? Or can you judt purchase a " day pass:?

Thank you D
