Went up to the Lost Coast for a nice solo adventure. Had great weather, and the views were too amazing not to share.

Got a good distortion. "Omega Sunset" This pic is zoomed in pretty far, so kinda grainy... Need a big lens.

Lots of makeshift camps at every river crossing... This was my camp for night 1.

Shortly after came across this decomposing Black Bear. :huh

The combination of the ocean, the steep mountainside, and the fog make this a special place.

For night two, I decided to hike to the top of King's Peak, the highest point in the Lost Coast.

Got some great views from the top.

    Just for my taste - pictures are way too small to enjoy.

    Awesome pics. Where exactly is the Lost Coast?

    I think your horizon is off in the first 2 btw.

    To my knowledge it's very North California,
    but we should wait for kubi to confirm for sure.

    Great thing - most of pics are bigger now mwink.gif

    Very nice pictures!

    The Lost Coast is in Northern California. If you were going to look at a map,
    the nearest towns would be Petorlia or perhaps Shelter Cove. The Sinkyone
    Wilderness is included. I want to say the road that goes mostly through the area is
    Usal Road.

    If you enjoy wilderness, this is certainly the place.
