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\u2013the terrain is too rugged. There is no cell phone coverage. We will see few people. We will be disconnected from the modern world, and reconnecting to the land, the sea and ourselves, which will be amazing<\/p>

The Lost Coast<\/strong>\u00a0is so named because this 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\u00a0along this trail. Just getting to the trailhead is a journey in itself.<\/p>

Distance<\/strong>: 27 is\u00a0miles
Time<\/strong>:\u00a04+ days
Difficulty<\/strong>: Moderately strenuous multi-day
The Lost Coast Trail stretches 25+ miles through the\u00a0King Range National Conservation Area<\/a>.\u00a0 We will be hiking from Mattole Beach in the north to the village of\u00a0Shelter Cove\u00a0in the south. The trail is fairly flat (there are a few hills to climb) but\u00a0don\u2019t let that fool you the Earths terrain is always challenging. We will be hiking over or on coarse black sand to pebbly beaches; from slippery, wave-smoothed stones the size of bowling balls to solid flat ground. Important to NOTE: Sections of the trail are completely impassable at high tide, making timing and tide chart knowledge essential and weather can be and is highly unpredictable.<\/p>

We will hike\u00a0the Lost Coast Trail over four days and three nights<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 This will be a comfortable pace that will allow for flexibility\u00a0in our hiking schedule to accommodate the high tides. We will start with a rough itinerary, but are open to a change of planned camp location etc based on our group leaders knowledge.\u00a0We will Hike and have a plan, but plan to be flexible.<\/strong>\u00a0The Lost Coast demands it.<\/p>
