Lost Coast — King Range
King Range NCA, Northern California
Three days from the Mattole trailhead to Black Sands Beach at Shelter Cove, 24.6 miles down the stretch of California coast too rugged for Highway 1 to follow. Two nights on the sand between the King Range and the Pacific, the whole route timed around three tide gates that only open on a falling tide.
