Backpack Desolation's Primitive Western Edge through Rockbound Pass

11/10/15

A good friend and I did this trip over the summer, it was one of the most surreal experiences I have ever had. Throughout the 3 and a half day trip we saw maybe 3 other hikers. The nights were dead silent and the stars were absolutely stunning. If you wake up before sunrise you can also catch the sun as it begins to hit the rock faces which makes for a truly amazing sight. The climbs can be pretty difficult but they are definitely worth the panoramic views you're rewarded with at the top. Overall, great trip!

The Lost Coast: Mattole to Black Sands Beach

11/10/15

Was fortunate to have amazing weather when I went. Super light winds with early morning fog which cleared up in the afternoon (actually got sunny and warm later in the day). Rough terrain at some points - boulders, sand, ... etc. - but not too tough of a trip. Loved the fact that we were right along the coast for the whole trip. One of my favorite things about this trip was watching the fog roll over the hills in the morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves that coastal norcal vibe!
