Naked Hiking Day

The first day of summer every year sees thru-hikers up and down the Appalachian Mountain Range observe this most revealing of traditions. Taking part in Naked Hiking Day is indeed liberating, but it's also hard not to laugh while swinging and swaying down the trail, realizing the next bend could bring an awkward encounter with repulsed day hikers. I'm not sure where the tradition began, but Naked Hiking Day is very real. It's also not condoned by the authorities. But taking part in this most slight of indiscretions is perhaps worth it, as you'll bond like hell with your hiking partners, hopefully from a safe angle and distance. You'll feel ridiculous as you bust your butt up long climbs and down endless descents, sitting bare-bottomed on downed trees or leaning against cold rocks. I did. And maybe that's the point.
