It stretches roughly 80 miles along a rugged, lightly traveled coast, backed by a dozen peaks rising more than 2000 feet, crowned by the 4,087-foot hulk of Kings Peak. Two dozen year-round streams cascade down deep, steep-walled canyons in a landscape so rugged the highway builders just shook their heads and went elsewhere. Of the four roads that reach this wild coast, two are one-lane dirt and all are twisting and steep. Yes, dramatic fits,  as does remote.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those who don&#8217;t get enough sand in their toes on the Lost Coast, there&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiacoastaltrail.org\/\">  1200-mile California Coastal Trail. <\/a>   It&#8217;s possible to hike the whole thing, as this<a href=\"http:\/\/californiacoastaltrail.info\/cms\/archives\/cte_2003.php\"> 2003 trek diary attests. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<p>So, the coast walks are the most obvious.
