Hi Everyone!
I have 2 spots left on the Lost Coast July 16th and 3 Spots on the 21st That’s it folks.
We will be meeting on July 16th to backpack the Lost Coast. We have 2 openings for the 17th – 21st and 3 openings left for the 22nd – 26th.
The Lost Coast Trail: An Overview
We will hit the trail, and promptly lose ourselves in the vast beauty of the coast. There are no roads on this section of the coast–the terrain is too rugged. There is no cell phone coverage. We saw very few people. We will be disconnected from the modern world, and reconnecting to the land, the sea and ourselves.

We are on the Lost Coast Trail.
The Lost Coast is so named because this section of this section of land was too steep and rugged to build a road. Highway 1 veers inland 20 miles around this remote section of coastline. There are no roads or cars. Just getting to the trailhead is a journey in itself.
Distance: 25 miles
Time: 4+ days
Difficulty: Moderately strenuous multi-day
When to go: Year-round
The Lost Coast Trail stretches 25 miles through the King Range National Conservation Area, from Mattole Beach in the north to the village of Shelter Cove in the south. The trail is fairly flat (there are a few hills to climb) but the terrain is challenging. You go from hiking on coarse black sand to pebbly beaches; from slippery, wave-smoothed stones the size of bowling balls to the blessed solid ground of the flats. Sections of the trail are completely impassable at high tide, making timing and tide chart knowledge essential. And the weather is highly unpredictable.
We will hike the Lost Coast Trail over four days and three nights — a comfortable pace that allows flexibility in our hiking schedule to accommodate the high tides. We start with a rough itinerary but are open to a change of planned camp location. Have a plan, but plan to be flexible. The Lost Coast demands it.
Lost Coast Trail Tips
- We can camp anywhere on the Lost Coast, but we will use previously established campsites whenever possible, to minimize impact on the environment.
- We will carry a tide chart and know where the impassable sections are! While in those sections, we will keep an eye on the ocean. A rogue wave can sneak up at any time, and unsuspecting hikers have been swept out to sea.
- There is zero cell phone reception on the Lost Coast Trail. We will have to use backcountry smarts to handle any emergency that arises. Of course, we are carrying the Ten Essentials.
- We probably will not have any rain on our trip (July is historic a low rainfall on this otherwise very wet trail). Even so, carry a tarp because will we have to use our rain fly every night. Anything that isn’t covered will got wet with condensation from the fog. So, cover up!
This will be epic!
