| surgent | Nice 'low' peak | |
Voted 10/10 | I was in the region as a kid and remembered it being 'neat'. I hope you don't get dinged for posting a peak lower than 500 feet elevation, but even the little ones have their moments, too. Nice page! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks! It is a "neat" area, in my opinion. One of the few wilderness coastlines in the Lower48. I hope I don't get dinged too. I figured it was close enough to 500 that I might squeeze it in. Plus, when you are on the summit, it feels a lot higher, since it climbing straight out of sea level. | |

| surgent | Been to Sinkyone? | |
Voted 10/10 | My wife took me there in '03, and we hiked it briefly, but not the full length. Looks kind of similar to this area - an untouched coastal section of NorCal. I was blown away by Sinkyone. Love the whole north coast. | |

Hasn't voted | I have been up there a few times. I was backpacking on the Lost Coast trail a while back when I encountered a guy with a full pack, a deep sea fishing pole and a surfboard strapped to his pack. He had spent a week on a wilderness surfing trip. Backpacking to go surfing...it does not get more California than that. Sinkyone is a state park. Just to the north is the King Range National Conservation Area: www.summitpost.org/area/range/154421/lost-coast-wilderness-and-kings-range.html It is all worth a trip though. Of course, I am addicted to your neck of the woods. I can't get enough of the southwest. | |

I would love to just bum around the NorCal coast, Oregon and Wash (and BC, etc) to climb peaks, hike canyons, camp, get lost for a summer. I huiess I'll just have to make do with all the great desert peaks and our high country. Sigh :) | |
