Northern California trip May 4 to 7 looking for Lost Coast alternatives and route ideas
Hey all,
I am planning a Northern California trip in early May and looking for advice on the middle section of my route May 4 to 7.
Start: Point Reyes late April or May 1
\- Hoping to see tule elk at Tomales Point
\- Planning to backpack and explore the coast
Then: Kayak camping on Tomales Bay May 2 to 3
Middle section May 4 to 7 is flexible and undecided
End: I need to be in Yuba City May 8 to 10
So I have a few days in between where I am trying to figure out the best way to spend that time.
My original plan was to do the Lost Coast Trail Mattole to Shelter Cove over about 3 days. I would try for a walk in permit in Shelter Cove and potentially hitchhike back after. I would really like to do it, but I know permits tides and logistics can make it unpredictable.
I have also looked at Salt Point State Park to find some mushroom as an option but I am still very open and not set on anything.
I am mainly looking for alternatives that have a similar feel such as
\- Nature focused areas like state parks rivers lakes or coastline
\- Backpacking or dispersed camping
\- Good for solo travel
\- Not too expensive or complicated to figure out
\- Somewhere that feels remote wild or a little off the beaten path
Open to
\- Alternative backpacking routes in Northern California
\- Coastal or redwood areas
\- A mix of scenic hikes camps and swim spots over a few days
\- Any hidden gems or places people personally recommend for a 2 to 3 day stretch
Would really appreciate any suggestions for that middle section May 4 to 7. Thanks
