TUCSON, Ariz.-
Levi's and Stetson's are definitely out at this dude ranch.
Well, the hats are still OK. But you won't need the pants.
The 30-acre Mira Vista Resort has opened as a "clothing-optional" resort, where nudists can enjoy lounging by the pool, playing tennis, doing yoga or even Pilates.
"It's hard to go back to wearing a bathing suit once you've tried it nude," Dave Landman, one of six new owners, told the Arizona Daily Star.
He added that "winter visitors, baby-boomers and nude recreation go hand in hand."
The resort has 14 guest rooms, a restaurant, wellness center, pool and spa, tennis courts and the facade of an 1800s Wild West town.
Prior to opening as the Mira Vista, the site was home to the Coyote Moon Resort and Spa, which offered gay and lesbian travelers holistic health education and wellness programs. It closed in December.
