Kings Peak Road is a scenic and remote trail through the King Range in Humboldt County. It connects Shelter Cove in the south to Wilder Ridge Road in the north. The road between Shelter Cove and Tolkan Campground is graded and well-maintained. The road is a bit rougher north of Tolkan Campground, but still passable with a stock 2WD SUV or Pickup truck.
The trail's south end is just half a mile from Usal Road, and combining the two makes for an epic route through California's Lost Coast and adjoining mountain ranges. Kings Peak Road twists and turns through the mountains with a total of 3,800 feet of elevation change and is slightly easier to traverse than Usal Road.
3.8 miles from the south end, Tolkan Campground is a BLM-managed campground with a nightly fee, providing spacious sites as well as a terrain park for biking. Many hiking trails can also be found in the area.
