The Lost Coast Trail Hike Guide
Below you can read an excerpt.
INTRO EXCERPT:
The Lost Coast Trail could be considered as one of the most beautiful hikes in the Untied States. Many people travel to the California Coast to see the amazing ocean views, but while on the Lost Coast Trail, the views are part of the whole week. Backpackers enjoy amazing ocean views, sunsets, sea life and much more, for days straight.
The unique geographical location of the Lost Coast is the key to its popularity and its name. The Lost Coast has never been touched by highways, cities, subdivisions, or really any development. The reason for this being undeveloped is that the Lost Coast is tucked along the northern Coast of California, where large mountain ranges extend for 150 miles in from the ocean, and this block’s its access from the outside world. The rough terrain forced the nearest highway to be 30 miles inland from the Coast. This nature of the Lost Coast has made it a backpacker’s heaven, as the only way, as of today, to experience this section of Coast is by horse or by foot. The Trail offers 25.1 miles of hiking on the beach and then takes off into the mountains for the remaining 26 miles, through almost tropical-like terrain.
This Guide Book will provide useful information, giving hikers tools necessary to make successful the trip to one of the most spectacular coastal regions. The Guide provides all the necessary reservation, transportation, supply preparation, and navigation and safety information. It gives a step-by-step overview of the trail, camping locations, and points of interest, accompanied by photographs. This Guide is no ordinary guide, as the objective is to provide only the most important and quick information to hikers on their way to a great experience. Let’s dig in…

I have never travelled anywhere in the United States but I hope to someday in the future. This looks like one of the destinations I would want to check out while in Cali. Here are some photos if you would like to check them out http://flickr.com/search/?q=the+lost+trail+california
