Auburn Ravine - American River
7commentsThis place is awesome. It's a beautiful river canyon totally protected from outsiders. Swimming is popular, though the water is cool. All men, and virtually all are naked. Open is common and perfectly safe. Guys socializing and cruising around in rings is a common sight. Lots of guys strip on the trail and hike around naked. Don't be shy. It's a great place for exhibitionists in a beautiful outdoors setting. Bring a lot of water, and save some for the hike back up.

The Sacramento Bee ran a story on Sunday, May 24th about the nudity, etc. going on in the ravine and that families were bitching about it. Be aware of potential crackdowns.

Man! That was some hike. If you're not familiar with the where the beaches are it would be a good idea to follow some guys down from the parking turn-out. Got a lot of sun today but nothing else. If anyone was down there today I was the VERY white guy in the white thong.

Is this place busy at all? Thinking about going tomorrow afternoon, but don't wanna be the only one out there. I hope I don't get lost on my way there either, the directions sound a bit confusing!

Will be out at the river hiking this afternoon. I was recently out here but wasn't sure on where to go. Any way to get directions to the HOT SPOTS?
