Overlanding the most remote coast in California, The Lost Coast.

We completed a 3 night 4 day run on the Lost Coast from south to north. We stayed at Usal, Tolkan and Mattole campgrounds. We didn’t need 4wd at all as it was dry, but it was a very pretty drive.
Thanks for watching!

The foxgloves 5:01 are not native but are reminders of the loggers' wives that lived here back when Usal and other places along the Lost Coast were thriving redwood lumber mill communities over a hundred years ago. Thay have survived generation after generation amazing well. They are not invasive. Thank you for bringing us here.

The background music is awesome. Than you for bringing us along.

I love this place. drove up in my sprinter van last year and was surprised by the bioluminescent. Can't wait to go back!

[@thedanistan5889]

I love the Lost Coast! One of my favorite parts of the state. I've been up there a couple of times, camping in the back of my vintage Volvo. So much fun!

[@akathecops]

Was there yesterday. We went up to centerville slide and played guitar and sang til we got rained out.

[@onefastcyclist]

Nice music to go with your fine video - this is a one of our favorite trails!

[@4x4ready]

Such an awesome looking trip!

[@AndrewTuttle-m8l]

Thanks for sharing your trip!

Thank you

[@LastRODbender]

Last time I drove up there when I got to the end I found a Honda minivan up there.

[@regislesaint4290]

Amazing track ❤❤

[@dougdegraff5892]

Been on that stretch of the lost coast many times, love it up there the scenery reminds me of the Scottish highlands. So beautiful..

[@dawong8124]

D Just wondering did you find the spring? Best water ever. Every time i have gone, one of the first things i do is walk to usals spring and take a drink then set camp. just a small walk from camp

[@beyondroads]

Are you talking about the PVC Pipe Spring?

[@dawong8124]

@@beyondroads yes I was on the old logging road across from usual creek. That road goes to the 1. There is another road that will take you to shelter cove.

[@robertdavis5714]

Your way up North, looked up Shelter Cove. Explains why no people, Nice.

[@davidrgleffe]

Sweet video. Reminds of the road to my property in Big Sur. I grew up in Santa Rosa and love the Lost Coast. Where was the first beach you guys camped at in this video?

[@beyondroads]

Usal

[@mikebartoli4755]

I really enjoyed your video as I love this place and have been going here since the 80's but It also makes me sad that so many people are posting videos of this place all over SM. Now it's getting really crowed and I see human feces and toilet paper all over and large "overlanding" groups are being brought in by guides! So much for calling it the Lost Coast. 😒

[@beyondroads]

@@mikebartoli4755 I agree. It was pretty over used and neglected at Usal. The rest of the area is still pretty nice.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

what do you do when there is another vehicle coming? some areas no room to even pull over..

[@beyondroads]

@@josephsaeteurn9158 not sure… I only ran into one car and luckily it was at a wide spot! Generally someone has to back up to the closest wide spot. Some areas are pretty long without wide spots.

Your content is fantastic! Do you accept sponsored merchandise?

[@keithrosen1139]

This spot is just the start of the lost coast. The real lost coast is from Shelter cove to north to PATROILIA . 45 miles of real wilderness, no roads in you must walk along the beach to see the real lost coast.

[@darynanderson3103]

At 9:58, where you able to open the gate? Great video, thank you!

[@beyondroads]

@@darynanderson3103 no it was locked. A few of our group did hike about a mile past the gate to an old light house. But as you could see it was very windy with flying sand that made it uncomfortable.

[@hunjaepark4295]

Great video! Thank you!

[@beyondroads]

Glad you liked it! I’m new at this.

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

Sinkyone!

[@BlazingPhoenixArcher]

What is the first trial in the video you guys are on? Looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@beyondroads]

@@BlazingPhoenixArcher Usal road. I believe it stands for USA Lumber from the old days.

[@damnitdang]

The dirt road in the beginning is so narrow.. what happens if a car is coming opposite direction lol

[@beyondroads]

Someone has to back up if it’s not wide enough. Luckily I only met one vehicle and there was a wide spot.

[@ojalil9]

I have a 4x4 diesel Ram truck with an 8 ft bed. Would you foresee any trouble on the trail?

[@beyondroads]

Should be fine

[@ojalil9]

Thank you for the response.

[@DIGITALCITY-wn4by]

heading out there in about a week, tacoma prerunner with AT tires. I have some off-road experience in this truck , looking for your input as far as capability to do this trail.

[@beyondroads]

You will be fine. Just stay off the sand in a 2wd.

[@edl8538]

I would not do the road to windy point above the lighthouse from Mattole Beach without 4WD. There are signs multiple sighs stating that 4WD is required and I have actually pulled out 3 stuck trucks/vans myself over the years from a particular spot along that section

[@DIGITALCITY-wn4by]

@@beyondroads thanks

[@bjjthaiboxing]

Is Usal Rd in Whale Gulch?

[@beyondroads]

@@bjjthaiboxing actually goes through that little town

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

Would A small teardrop trailer set up for off roading with my jeep gladiator make it through there OK? I’ve always wanted to go that route but I’m just not sure what if someone else is coming is it white enough to get through with a small off-road trailer? 👍

[@beyondroads]

I saw one small trailer at the campsite. I say it is doable. It’s mainly the first 3-4 miles that is very narrow.

[@onefastcyclist]

YES I've done it three times: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boLVmoZ8qZdonJI

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

@@beyondroads thank you!!!

[@Hammydavis]

Do you even need a four-wheel-drive?

[@Hammydavis]

I just saw the sign. I guess I got my answer.

[@beyondroads]

When it’s dry you don’t. I think clearance is most important

[@adaml82]

Can this trail be done in a van?

[@beyondroads]

I think the area from Usal beach to needle rock it may be a little too rough for a low, long van.
