Lost Coast
The North Coast's superlative backpacking destination is a rugged, mystifying stretch of
coast where narrow dirt trails ascend rugged coastal peaks. Here you'll find volcanic
beaches of black sand and ethereal mist hovering above the roaring surf as majestic
Roosevelt elk graze the forests. The rugged King Range boldly rises 4000ft within 3 miles
of the coast between where Hwy 1 cuts inland north of Westport to just south of Ferndale.
The coast became 'lost' when the state's highway system deemed the region impassable in
the early 20th century.
The best hiking and camping is within the King Range National Conservation Area and
the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, which make up the central and southern stretch of the
region. The area north of the King Range is more accessible, if less dramatic.
