According to the map, the vast majority of the USA allows women the same right to get sunburned nipples as men have.

Cool. Or cold. Or burning. But don’t call it “hot” as that’s sexual in intent.

The reality is few women will take up the cause on a consistent basis.

You’ll see someone on occasion on Denver’s 16th Street Mall, a car-free expanse for tourists and local...colorful folks. Or in Boulder. And most keyboard Neanderthals will comment on how it’s never the ones you want to see. (Yeah, because it isn’t about your boner, moron) Or they comment on hair choices. I’m very Boulder.

But, hikers are warned every year not to partake in Hike Naked Day, by Colorado state Parks.
Now, I and my sweetie want to go out where there are not likely to be others and get some photos, involving me, topless.
(And, in all honesty, little else)
We know that what we are after is aside of the spirit of the ruling, casual, non sexual nudity. We want to get nekkid, and we know it. (Nekkid being nude and up to something)
I would like to be able to realistically cool off in a creek without a ranger hassling me, however.

how would you weigh the risk, knowing you are in the right, legally?

Knowing I was on the non-paddy wagon side of the law.. I would so be nekkid as a bluejay hatchling at every given moment.

I would avoid the public. Venturing off the beaten path to find moving water to swim in and trees to laze under is my style. Putting up with randos lacking the good sense/manners not to not stare or take pics has no appeal. Sadly, smacking a fool is still illegal.

Also. Sunscreen. So much sunscreen. All of the sunscreen. Cuz redheaded titties are highly flammable on sunny days.

I love to snow ski, worked many years on ski patrol After the ski area closed, we used to
enjoy the slopes. There were many wild times
Snow skiing naked was a experience I totally enjoyed. Making snow angels was a different cold experience. We could have got in some serious trouble, created havoc for the owners with the Forrest service if we were caught. The wild times!
Living in the mountains has its pro’s and con’s.
If you like to ski and prefer smaller groups try Wolf Creek ski area. There’s more natural snow there than any ski area in Colorado. The summers are fun too!! The only other place I have ever been top less in public was at the topless pool in Vegas it was private. That was a different experience.

Probably never going to be on public display but discretely in nature would be my choice. Well, I mean it already happens anyway. There's a close group of us that backpack camps quite a bit. We're not very shy about morning and evening ablutions. That bit of decorum was tossed a long time ago so we could get on and off the trail quickly.

I'm not the shy type. Just picky.

Hiya @Scarletbegonia
I'm not familiar with the laws in the US but have done similar here in the UK with my husband and sometimes friends but that's going a little off topic, we do have naturist areas over here (mainly a few beaches) which we use to relax in the buff when the British weather allows it. We've also got naked in more public places to take some pictures and have a giggle, over here getting naked in public (even just getting the girls out for a woman) can get you arrested. Saying that tho, there's a lot of people who do it (well more than you think anyway) taking a few topless pics or even a little more daring always creates a little buzz, we've done a fair few especially with sub friends in some pretty public places. Yes we've been rumbled a few times, as long as you're cooperative over here the, cover up quickly and take your telling off the police here will mostly send you on your way with a laugh. We've never had anymore than a telling off the few times we have been caught anyway, I do know of incidents where people have been arrested over here but it's been the result of not covering up straight away, not covering up if the police tell you to and generally arguing with the police which eventually gets you arrested if you're guilty of anything or not.

Don't forget that in National Parks, federal law applies, which I believe supersedes state law. I've never been to a nude or topless beach/area/resort myself, but have been nekked outdoors once or twice by being discreet in a remote area without many people around.

The large beaches on Cape Cod are part of the national Seashore, so no nudity is officially allowed, but I did encounter some topless women on a small, remotely accessed beach, which only had a dozen or so people on it on a beautiful summer day.
Casually walking down the beach, we passed a couple sitting on their blanket, looking at the surf. As I passed, with a quick glance over towards them, I noticed the woman was topless.

After we had settled in on a spot, a group of college-aged women set down their blankets about 100 years away from us, and their tops were quickly off. They put their tops back on when going into the water, and when walking the beach, so they were being discreet .

This was about 30 years ago, so who knows what you'd encounter these days?

there’s no way I’d be even partially in the buff in RMNP. Too busy, too constant, unless it’s too cold. While Trail Ridge Road is closed, and that’s the only time the park isn’t crawling with humans, it’s far too cold for me to shed layers.

In europe its totally normal for women to go topless on beaches if they want to. I was amazed at that first time i visited over there. I think its great and must feel very liberating for women. I’d like to see this more in North America: people in on this continent need to relax about this and accept it.

Colleagues and I debated this last year. Opinions were very strong. Most felt categorically that a women's breasts were sexual, whereas a man's chest was just attractive.

I am still trying to make sense of it.
Meanwhile, female breasts have a biological function and male breasts do not. But yeah... sexual. Eyeroll

Out of curiosity, what was the gender of your colleagues?

So strange. Breasts are breasts. They can be sexual, but pretty much only in the context of sex. They don’t feel sexual the rest of the time. Certainly not during breastfeeding, definitely not when squeezed into a mammogram machine, or when you’re trying to wriggle into a sports bra.

I, too, raised the face that women's breasts are biological, as are the vagina and the men's genitalia. Perhaps that is the reason. Because these areas could be deemed biologically necessary, they are to be covered.

The gender split among my colleagues is 50/50. Opinions in favor of modesty are 90%, with 5% against and 5% (I), saying that it is a personal decision.
