Welcome to Lost Coast
The North Coast’s superlative backpacking destination is a mystifying coastal stretch 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 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 area north of the King Range is more accessible, if less dramatic.
