Usal Road is an iconic, straight-through trail traversing the mountains and cliffs of California's Lost Coast. There are numerous campsites and campgrounds along the way, including Usal Campground and beach, located in the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. The trail has a lot of ups and downs with a total of 8,100' of climbing and elevation ranging from sea level to almost 1,900'.
Usal Road is mostly a one-lane rough and rutted dirt road, winding through the forest, across mountain ridges, and along cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. When conditions are good, it is traversable with a stock 2WD truck or SUV, but a high clearance 4WD is recommended.
