Southern Del Norte County

I can't decide if the ruggedness of the North Coast is what makes it so beautiful, or just what keeps it so beautiful. While I'd love to have a condo with this view, I love even more that it's not possible. About the only "improvement" this terrain will allow is the California Coastal Trail, and it is from this trail (somewhere between Requa, at the mouth of the Klamath River, and Hidden Beach, near False Klamath Rock) that this picture was snapped. This was a tough day of hiking (for me), a spur-of-the-moment decision that brought a lot of climbing and scrambling over perhaps 8 miles with it, but it was one of the most rewarding walks I've ever taken. I look forward to revisiting this trail soon.
