Bay Area Hiking

Hiking in Bay Area
There are magical places in the world that we live in. I would have to say that my visit to the Lost Coast was one of the most epic and endearing moments of my life. The Lost Coast is located in Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, about an hour north of Fort Bragg and 3-4 hours outside of the bay area. In fact, the only way we reached the trail head was by driving down a narrow dirt road that switched back several times. It was 5.9 miles of going about 10 mph the whole way. Little did we know that this would be foreshadowing most of the trip.
For those who don’t know, the Lost Coast is STEEP! There are so many switchbacks here it is insane. I soon learned that the reward for a hiking up a steep mountain is fear of falling down the mountain. I went with two of my friends and this was my first backpacking trip. What a trip.
Our trip was going to be a 2 night trip. We started on the south side at Usal Trailhead and Camp, then we stayed the first night at Anderson Gulch and the final night was at Little Jackass Camp. The first day was a beautiful hike through golden meadows sandwiched with refreshing walks through tall redwood trees. These same trees were ones that were cut down over a hundred years ago, when this area was a booming lumber area. (more…)
