Taber Nature Trail
Leggett, California
0.81 mi
/ 217 ft gain
Signs at the trail head for the Taber Trail state it is 1.1 miles long. That is much shorter than the actual 1.8 miles my GPS put it at. The trail sign also claims it is wheelchair accessible. I can see that for a little ways but as the trail begins to climb, I think this would be a tough go. The trail is an out and back hike but loops through some old growth Redwoods at the end. I enjoyed thi...

You can start this hike from three different trailheads. My friend and I were camping at the Nadelos Campgroun...
Camp at Usal Beach on the Lost Coast
Whitethorn, California
5.0
Getting to Usal beach can be a little tricky, but it is well worth the effort. Usal Road (Mendocino Country Rd 431) is found 13 miles north of Westport or 14.5 miles southwest of Legget on Highway 1. The turn off is extremely easy to miss so it is recommended to use your odometer to gauge how close you are to Usal Road. There is a small white sign at the entrance to the road. The road itself is...
