SUMMARY:D&T Treks: Lost Coast Backpacking
DESCRIPTION:Men and women 16+ \nAll creeds welcome. \nAdventure Score: 3 \nSpend Memorial Day weekend where the forest meets the sea! \nGod willing\, we’ll share five days and four nights together in the blush of spring along one of the most remote areas of Northern California\, the legendary Lost Coast. \nGetting there is a journey all its own. Considered too costly for state highway or county road builders to establish routes through the area\, this is the most undeveloped and remote portion of California’s coast. \nBut don’t let that intimidate you. Five hours from San Francisco and nearly 12 hours from Los Angeles\, you can just think of it as a fabulous roadtrip with a backpacking adventure thrown in for good measure. \nAnd if the promise of sleeping in redwood groves\, breezy ocean overlooks\, and combing black sand beaches gets your heart pounding like the waves of the Great Pacific\, you don’t want to miss this. \nWe’ll spend our first day (Thursday) staging our arrival camp and getting our parking and transportation arrangements squared away. We’ll hit the trail early Friday morning\, God willing\, averaging between 4-8 miles daily as we make our way north along the southern portion of the Lost Coast trail. With God’s help and permission\, we plan to exit the trail well before noon on Monday morning in time to get back on the road for the long trip home. \nIt should be noted that the views won’t be the only thing taking your breath away. It gets easier\, but the first day is a doozy with some impressive elevation gain. We know that with hardship there is ease and between climbs we’ll have plenty of opportunities to relax in secluded coves\, dip our toes in the ocean\, and marvel at the ancient redwoods that have stood here for centuries.  \nWe think you can do it. You’ll really have no choice once you’re on the trail\, and if you are questioning your abilities\, book early and start conditioning. It’s not hard to improve our strength and endurance. Much more important is our sense of determination and commitment.  \nThat’s the magic of an adventure like this. Cut off from all of our creature comforts and in the middle of California’s most remote stretch of coastline\, we’ll only have what we’ve brought and one another. We’re forced into growth\, community\, and a revitalized perspective. \nWe start helping each other now. \nIncluded: \n\nPoint-by-point itinerary\, packing list\, and personalized assistance with logistics\nAll necessary permits and parking fees\nFour nights of backcountry camping\nWilderness first-aid certified adventure guide\nDaily check-in message to loved ones via satellite transmitter\nNightly circle reflections\nCommemorative D&T keepsakes to honor our time together\nNew friends and a lifetime of memories!\n\nYou are responsible for your food\, transportation\, clothing\, and gear (limited rentals are available). Interested participants should feel confident in their ability to carry 30 pounds of gear a distance of at least 10 miles. Backpacking experience will be helpful\, but is not required. We’ll coach you through anything you need to know\, insha Allah. \nYour trip facilitators are Amin\, Neda\, and Luke. \nTrip will cancel if fewer than 5 registered participants by Thursday 5/8/2025. \nInclement weather will not be grounds for either cancellation or refund except in cases of extreme severity. \nBook your spot with a $210 deposit that is refundable up to 30 days prior to our trip (refund deadline Tuesday 4/22/2025). \n\n \n \nDon’t want to hassle with food? We’re happy to put together a 2000 calorie/day vegetarian meal bundle to get you through the weekend. The bundle includes pasta and quinoa-based entrees\, oatmeal\, granola\, and lots of chocolate\, nut-butters\, and fat-rich coconut strips to fuel your adventure. \n\n\n \nQuestions? Drop them in the comments below or send us a message through our Contact page.
