Why Is this California’s Lost Coast?<\/h2>\n

Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, along with the BLM\u2019s King Range National Conservation Area to the north, comprise California\u2019s Lost Coast, located in northern Mendocino and southern Humboldt counties. One reason the coast is \u201clost\u201d is because no highways cross it. So rugged is this country, highway engineers were forced to route Highway 1 many miles inland from the coast\u2014and the region has remained sparsely settled and unspoiled. It\u2019s magnificent vistas and varied terrain\u2014dense forests, prairies, bluffs and beaches\u2014reward the visitor who plans an adventure on the Lost Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new map incorporates recent changes in facilities and access that add up to altogether better visitor experience. The BLM has upgraded 7 campgrounds and its day-use recreation areas. Trail camps in the King Range and walk-in camps in the state park have also been improved. Roads and trails are in better shape than in years past, with improved signage as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

California\u2019s Lost Coast map details the BLM\u2019s new wilderness permit system for backpackers. Those backpackers and day hikers who like to make one-way journeys will be pleased to learn of a new shuttle service that offers drop-off and pickup at all the major Lost Coast trailheads.
