The Lost Coast is a 25 mile stretch of undeveloped coastline in Northern California. In February, I tackled the hike by myself in two days. The rugged beauty and solitude absolutely blew me away and I hope you can have a chance to go check it out as well.

I was up in Trinidad and Eureka this past summer. This stretch looks beautiful and very demanding.

Thanks for the trail breakdown with your thoughts and tips - that’s incredibly helpful. I love the lost coast and have spent so much time there - I’m tempted to move to it. The beauty is shocking - pretty much no video does it any justice until you’re there and by yourself. Sometimes I get irrationally worried that it’ll be ruined the more publicity it gets, but it’s so remote that I think that’d be pretty difficult. You basically have to really know and want to be there - it’s not a day trip or casual visit type of place. Which I guess is why I love it.

I liked the dog edits where he was flopped all over the bed in different positions while you were talking :). Hopefully you do some trips with your dog in the future. I am a dog dad to a golden retriever and it's awesome to go on trips with your dog, the only down side is it does limit some of the areas that you can go since the national parks often frown upon dogs on the trail. There are still plenty of wilderness areas that have no dog restrictions. The shelter cove to mattole stretch of the lost coast is also dog friendly.

I have also camped out there and it's pretty darn magic. Maybe invest in a wind screen for you camera mic. Many of the beaches there are various grades of gravel and not sand, per-se. I was surprised you could get all that gear into your pack. Nice job on your vid.

What a majestic scenery, this video is pure art! Simply outstanding work, after Iceland maybe your best video.👌👌

Oh my gosh, this comment is so nice it literally had me tearing up 🥹 thanks so much!!

I just returned from Mattole Beach campground. We hiked out to the lighthouse and were welcomed by a large population of elephant seals. Stunningly beautiful and remote. I'm glad that I found your channel.

@ElsbethWeeks Год назад

Sounds like you had a great trip! The elephant seals were such a pleasant surprise! I had no idea they would be there!

Really great scenery and congrats on adopting the big dog. They rock!

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

Thanks! Its amazing how quickly I just totally fell in love with him! Hopefully I can get him to go hiking with me this summer :)

@stephanieweeks762 2 года назад

Loved the video, the breathing costars were a fun addition, especially the big guy on the bed. Well done!

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

Thanks so much! Hopefully I can get him in the channel some more :)

@Dennisli478 2 года назад

You should do the southern section as well! Its more elevation gain and more varied in scenery.

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

I know! I want to go do that section as well!

@jakesmith417 Год назад

Your awesome .

@ReignDog 2 года назад

Amazing, isn't it! Well done! I did this in December for a 4 days stretch, was perfect. I have the adventure up on my channel! Planning on doing it every 1st week of November for my birthday! You should take me on a hike with ya!

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

That sounds like such a great ritual! I definitely need to get back up there to do the southern section, but my next few trips will be in the Sierras 🏔

@ReignDog 2 года назад

Thee Sierra's are my backyard! I also am planning much for thee sierras, as soon as some snow melts that is haha

@Pacman259 2 года назад

@@ReignDog Same. I'm excited that the Sonora Pass is finally open!

@ReignDog 2 года назад

@@Pacman259 Awesome! I'm definitely going to start planning then. Thanks for letting me know it's open!

@RhodySeth 2 года назад

Hiking on the beach must be exhausting after awhile. I got into Red Dead Redemption 2 last year and it gobbled up my time. Suddenly making videos didn't seem that important anymore!

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

Ughh... tell me about it! Elden Ring also just came out at exactly the right time to sit around and do nothing but play!

@lisbethlarios5227 11 месяцев назад

What tent do you use?

@drummindreams 2 года назад

Great video! I am going in October this year. My friend whom was going to go bailed so even tho I have two permits to hike, I’ll be likely going solo just as you did. Any pointers outside of the tide zones?

@drummindreams 2 года назад

I just saw the end of the video, good info! Thanks for your efforts with sharing ;)

@ElsbethWeeks 2 года назад

That’s gonna be a great time to go! I bet the weather will be fantastic! You will have a good time solo, but if you want to find someone to go with, I bet you’ll find someone on r/norcalhiking (Reddit) 😄

@Pacman259 2 года назад

I'd say take just what you need, leave most luxury items behind. The rocks do a number on your ankles, the less weight on your feet the better.

@drummindreams 2 года назад

@@Pacman259 great recs and would trail runners be okay such as my Altras?

@Pacman259 2 года назад

@@drummindreams Yes, but I would recommend using minimalist gaiters as well. I wore La Sportiva Bushido's for my most recent hike of the trail, and combined with Dirty Girl Gaiters I had no problem with sand.
