Hike Naked Day 2017 will add some colour to your cheeks

Jun 20 2017, 10:30 pm

If you go down in the woods this Wednesday, you’re in for a big surprise.

Yes, while June 21 marks the first official day of summer, it also marks another – and some might say more important – annual event: Hike Naked Day.

Yes, this is a thing.

The global event is meant to help celebrate the start of the new season, but did you really need an excuse to strip down and enjoy nature in the most natural way possible?

Of course, proper preparation is encouraged and sunscreen and bug repellent is always a good idea.

So if you’ve ever wanted to get naked, get outside and get up a mountain all at once (and you know you want to), it seems your opportunity has arrived.

Godspeed.
