My GF and I have always freehiked to and from the springs. We usually leave our clothes at the car. We have only started from Bowen ranch and it is clothing optional from the ranch so we have never bothered covering up at the ranch or on the trail or at the springs. Most people we've come across either know its clothing optional or havent said anything. The springs are mixed textile and nude. But we've always been nude there and were the majority. Weekends are busier with textiles but nudity is still accepted then.
