Usal Road- Four Wheeling Nor Cal's Lost Coast (and the best campsite yet)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A friend and I set off to run Usal Road- one of Northern California's hidden gems. Dense forests, water crossings, and beach camping were just some of what we encountered on what may be my favorite trail yet.

    You've got to check out Usal Road then. Amazing views mixed with remote forests, and it is fairly easy terrain wise.

    Driving on Usal beach has been prohibited for many years, but it’s one of those things where enforcement is lax and “everybody does it” is the norm. More barriers will be put up as damage to the beach increases, so go now before it’s closed.
