Arizona can get hot. Really hot.

There are plenty of ways to beat the heat across the state, but no matter what, you'll always have a thin layer of material over your body, increasing the heat factor.

But what if there was a place where you didn't have to worry about that?

Here are five places in the Grand Canyon State that ask you to leave your clothes at the door.

El Dorado Hot Springs

Located just outside of Tonopah, this hot spring is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty that you can enjoy while taking a dip in your birthday suit. The mineral water that fills the springs is naturally heated and will awaken your primal nature as you enjoy all the beauty El Dorado has to offer.

Mira Vista Resort

Built on the remains of a 19th-century estate outside of Tucson, Mira Vista is a clothing-optional luxury resort that still stays true to its roots. Enjoy luxurious amenities next to centuries-old buildings and live more freely.

Bartlett Lake

Deep in the Tonto National Forest lies Bartlett Lake, a clothing-optional lake perfect for a day trip without the burden of swimwear. The lake is completely surrounded by Arizona wilderness, making for a (perhaps private) afternoon of pictures.

Arizona Sunburst Inn

Located in the heart of the Grand Canyon State, Sunburst Inn is considered the state's premier naturist bed and breakfast. This inn is slightly smaller and all rooms are themed, giving this getaway a more intimate feel.

Tanque Verde waterfalls

Rounding out the list is the beautiful Tanque Verde Falls, a clothing-optional waterfall and swimming hole outside of Tucson. While the hike to the falls is a steep climb, the cliffs and wildlife you will see on the way to the falls are unique and don't forget how good the spring water feels on your bare skin.

All of these experiences are worth trying if you're interested in the nudist lifestyle, but remember to still wear clothes in public.
