Lost Coast 55K
January 3rd 2026
Whitethorn, CA
Want to start 2026 with a killer adventure? Look no further than the Lost Coast. Rough, remote, yet incredibly runnable backcountry gravel and quiet pavement awaits in Humboldt County.
Start point
Horse Creek Mountain trailhead parking area. Easiest way to access is from Shelter Cove Rd, which is five miles south on King Range Rd. That stretch of King Peak Rd is all unpaved dirt/gravel but plenty wide and smooth for most mid-size cards to traverse.
The nearest town (gas station, brewery, market, etc) is Shelter Cove on the water. Leave Shelter Cove, pass King Peak Rd and keep going to 101 and you'll hit Garberville, which is 3.5-4 hours drive away from San Francisco.
