Apparently Sheriff's and Forest rangers are handing out citations for public nudity. 7 more as of this Saturday. I wouldn't get nude until you reach the waterfalls and even then it might be risky with the amount of traffic it's seeing out there right now.
If this is BLM land, the Federal government does not have laws against simple nudity, unless someone is doing something sexual while naked. the only rule I have followed was if someone asks you to get dressed, DO IT!
I carry a letter written by a local Sheriffs chief that is directed to all stations, with me while hiking that states that hiking in National Forrests and Parks is legal within limits!

Dear Mr. Baylis:
I have received your letter that states your concerns that some of our deputies may be
misinterpreting the law as it pertains to section 314. 1 of the California Penal Code. I asked my
staff to research the applicable laws and ordinances to determine if simple nudity in the
unincorporated county area of the Angeles National Forest was prohibited. Their research
revealed that simply being nude in the Angeles National Forest is not prohibited by law.
Therefore your client appears to be within his legal rights to hike in the forest in the nude.
Altadena Station Deputies will be briefed that simply hiking in the forest, in the nude, is not a
violation of the law. They will also be briefed about section 314.1 of the California Penal Code
to ensure that law is being properly enforced.
If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (626) 798-1131.
Sincerely,
LEROY D. BACA, SHERIFF
