A short day to finish on day 7 in the #KingRange on the #LostCoastTrail and more. Getting in a bit more #tidepooling and wandering the #dunes.

Day 6 was generally spent on the Cooskie Creek Route through the #KingRange. One of the best reasons to get off the #beach and see more when #hiking the #LostCoastTrail.

Day 4 was time to get off the #beach and the #LostCoastTrail. I headed up Rattlesnake Ridge into the #KingRange for camp by a high spring nearly at the top. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/05/lost-coast-rattlesnake-ridge.html

Day 3 on the #LostCoastTrail started cold, but the overnight storm had finished and sun was coming for the finish of the hike on the #beach. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/05/lost-coast-big-flat-to-shelter-cove-and.html

Day 2 on the #LostCoastTrail was a bit cold, clouded, windy. #ElephantSeals on beach and trail by the lighthouse with lots more #beach and lowland hiking after. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/05/lost-coast-punta-gorda-to-big-creek.html

First day of a week of backpacking the King Range starting with a hike south on the #LostCoastTrail. Didn't even get to the designated wilderness on this day, but that was by design. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/05/lost-coast-windy-point.html

Woah, Holy Moly! local news saying the Lost Coast, and entire Kings Range Conservation Area have had wind gusts up to 94 miles per hr today. Sure hope no one's backpacking the on Lost Coast Trail during this storm. (I wouldn't be totally surprised if someone is)
View from top of Kings Peak looking south along the Lost Coast on sunny day. ( A great day hike up the Lightening Trail with stunning views)
Waves crashing on a less stormy day, lost coast tide pools.
