[pct-l] Hike the coast

[Edward Anderson]

John,
 
Another fantastic and challenging trail to consider is the Lost Coast. Trail high on the cliffs, great views, beaches, creeks coming down to the sea. Lots of wildlife - sea mammals, birds, and possibly Roosevelt Elk when you get north of Bear Harbor. Start NOBO from Usall, which was the location of an old logging town - now there is a public campground and a great beach there. Hike through redwoods cliffs and ocean views to Bear Harbor and then continue north.  To get there go east on Highway 1 from 101 at Leggett. You would have to watch very closely for the turnoff (when I was last there, three years ago, there was no sign but someone had painted an arrow on the pavement) to go north on a very narrow, steep, and winding road over the mountain and then down to Usall, which is in Mendocino County. Trail starts from the campground.

Help! I sent in a request as to status of 'coast trail' (see below). Anyone? 
Figure maybe walk, camp along the beach/coast of Washington from Columbia River 
to Canada. Been done and was well done. Read about it here. Is it blazed? Where 
might I find more information? Maps? REI have it? All such? Go low avoid the 
snow...

Thanks, Fireweed! Perhaps with this in mind can anyone refresh my memory as to 
trail along coast? Is it blazed? Are there maps? At such as, say, REI, 
elsewhere, more info? On line? How about Washington State section alone? Any 
help appreciated- maybe, "go low avoid the snow..."
