Northern Lost Coast

The northern Lost Coast is a truly idyllic place to go backpacking. The secret has gotten out and now permits are required, but it is still not terribly crowded, especially during the winter months. We only saw a few other people the whole weekend. I got about 10 people from my school together to do a key swapping trip, and we did the Northern Section in one weekend.

As the area is so pretty and since the trip went so smoothly, I will mostly let the pictures speak for themselves.

we had to start early to get around the sections impassable during high tide

Anthony(different Anthony not me) crossing a freezing cold creek early in the morning

the lighthouse

another small creek

we got to camp around noon so there was plenty of time to lounge around

we climbed a large hill above our camp, and the view was amazing

spun some steel wool that night on the beach near the water, very far away from any grasses

Anthony did not like getting his feet wet

there were many waterfalls like this all up and down the beach

the reason bear canisters are required
