Remember that time we backpacked 27 miles through one of the most beautiful trails in the country, and I barely even mentioned it? 🌊

Lost Coast Trail. It requires a permit, it’s hot, it’s sandy, it’s crawling in Poison Oak, and it is literally guaranteed to kill you if you don’t time the tides right... and I can’t wait to go back one day!

In this series, you’ll find some of the views you can expect to see in a single day on the most remote and undeveloped stretch of coastline in California, arranged from morning to night.

I was just looking back on the literal HUNDREDS of photos I took on this hike and thought, “Hmm, maybe I should actually share some of these.” In the shots of the Milky Way, the orange glow in the distance is the small town of Shelter Cove, which marked the end of our trail.

We’re happy to announce the return of the ever popular King Peak Moonlight Hike! On Sunday, August 18th, you can join FOLC & the Bureau of Land Management as we hike to the summit of the highest point in the King Range National Conservation Area, King Peak, which reaches a staggering 4088 ft high.

Led by FOLC and featuring King Range Manager, Paul Sever, we’ll meet at the BLM office in Whitethorn at 3:30PM to caravan to Lightning Trailhead, climb the peak, enjoy the sunset, and start the journey back under the light of the rising moon. Please consider that this 4.8 mile round trip route includes nearly 2000 ft of elevation gain and will be strenuous for some, and returning in the moonlight presents additional challenges. Space is limited, and advance registration is required! Don’t wait to sign up- this event fills quickly! Email [email protected] for more info or to RSVP. Repost:

Through the Redwoods and to the coast. “Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” John Muir

Finally hiked out to the lighthouse a couple weekends ago! It’s been on my list for over two years. Punta Gorda lighthouse is 3.5 miles out but we went a mile and a half past it to make this a 10 mile day hike on the Lost Coast trail. It’s the farthest my son has ever hiked and he wants to do the whole 27 miles with me next summer. I am so proud of him! If you can hike the Lost Cosst Trail, do it, it’s breathtaking. It’s the happiest I’ve been on any trail! 🥾 🥾 ❤️

Nashville Hot Chicken…move on over. We’re servin’ it up Shelter Cove style here on the Lost Coast with an ocean view Get ready to sink your teeth into the most mouthwatering fried chicken sandwich you’ve ever tasted! Gyppo’s chicken thighs are carefully pounded, brined in a garlic and lemon mix, and then soaked in a spiced buttermilk marinade. After that, they’re coated in seasoned flour and deep-fried to perfection. Served with fresh spring greens, pickles, pickled onions, and a touch of Frank’s Red Hot, all nestled in a soft bun with mayo. It’s a burst of flavor in every bite.

Hikers, visitors and locals alike, are enthralled to come upon the recently refurbished, historic Punta Gorda Lighthouse along the Lost Coast Trail.

The Punta Gorda abandoned lighthouse on the Lost Coast. How many of you have actually been here? This felt very remote for California. (It is. )

“Sweet dreams and summer sweatshirts.” Find your way to Shelter Cove and beat the heat. Just a reminder - Gyppo Ale Mill has a dreamy ever-changing desert menu:

We’ve delighted our guests with mouth-watering blackberry cobbler, decadent sticky chocolate cake, and luscious raspberry crème brûlée in the past. But don’t get too attached—our dessert lineup is always changing! What are you craving? Stop by Gyppo Ale Mill and treat yourself to these sweet delights, and maybe even a refreshing Chasing Rainbows beer in the middle. Your taste buds are in for a surprise!

📍Cape Mendocino Lighthouse, Shelter Cove, CA.
A bird’s eye view. This historic, iconic lighthouse constructed in 1868 was moved to Shelter Cove from Cape Mendocino in 1998. Since 2000 It has been manned by volunteer docents seasonally for tours.

Dale Alexander the Cove’s own “lighthouse keeper” keeps this relic lit with a themed light display each month and the non-profit Cape Mendocino Lighthouse Society makes sure it stays in good repair (like that new coat of paint recently). Community members and visitors alike can help maintain this landmark by visiting: https://capemendocinolighthouse.org

Looks like paradise to us and we see it “on the regular”. Experience Shelter Cove on the Lost Coast for yourself this season. Sunny days and daily temps in the 65 - 75 degree range. (Pack a sweater or sweatshirt for after one of our epic sunsets.)

Fall in love with the natural, unspoiled beauty and wildlife of this community - and after you do - reach out to the real estate agents who call Shelter Cove home for listings.

Whether you want a slow scenic ride or extreme adventure, the Bureau of Land Management offers one-of-a-kind experiences with stunning views.

The Paradise Royale Trail System is an amazing way to experience the Lost Coast of Northern California. The trails have been designed and built for a mountain bike optimized experience. The King Range National Conservation Area’s Douglas fir-covered peaks also attracts hikers, hunters,and campers, while the coast beckons to surfers, anglers, beachcombers and many others.

The system currently includes 23 miles of trails with varying levels of difficulty. Visitors will marvel at the backcountry riding experiences that have been skillfully melded with modernized trail construction techniques, resulting in a truly unique riding experience.
