The King Range NCA is the only area along 35 miles of California’s north coast which is still pristine. The landscape is too rugged for highway or road building, hence the title California’s Lost Coast. Backpacking and hiking is the best way to enjoy the sunsets from the beaches with black sand. One must be careful of the rip currents and undertows. We had to wait several minutes to an hour so we can safely get through narrow passage. People actually get hurt and killed when caught in the current. Please use caution ⚠️ and be safe.
Bear cans are mandatory for overnight camping, lastly be cautious of rattle snakes, almost stepped in one.
