    My husband and I are looking to hike the south section next year. I’m finding a lot of information on the north section of the Lost Coast but very little on the south section. We like both the beach and the redwoods and it seems the south section would give the most diverse experience with the elevation changes.

    Is there a better time of the year to hike the trail where it is not too hot?

    For those who have hiked either section was there a reason for the section you choose?

    Does one section require a more seasoned backpacker over the other section?

    What resources can we tap into to help with our trip planning?

    We’ve done hiking and some back packing but know the Lost Coast will not be like anything we’ve done before and will appreciate any tips or advise one can give.

    Thank you,
    Alison

    I haven’t hiked the southern section yet. It travels through State Park (a different jurisdiction) and yes, it’s got a lot more up and down.

    My friend Peter hiked in back in 2014 and has a pretty good write-up.
