Hiking the Lost Coast Trail, California

March 25, 2012

A few weeks ago I took a casual stroll on a 25-mile section of the Lost Coast Trail with college friend Anna Joseph. This section of California’s coast was too mountainous to host Route 1 and remains relatively remote. The “trail” follows sand and rock beaches and runs along the edge of decomposing cliffs. There are several sections that can only be passed at low tide, which adds an element of risk and planning to the walk. Photos are below and you can find more logistical information here.

Not on the Lost Coast Trail, but in Redwood National Park. Anna shows how big trees can grow.
