About King Range

The King Range is a remote and rugged mountain range located along the Northern California coast. Extending for over 30 miles, the range rises dramatically from the Pacific Ocean, with steep, forested slopes and numerous peaks reaching over 4,000 feet in elevation. The terrain is characterized by deep, narrow canyons, rushing streams, and dense old-growth redwood forests. This isolated wilderness area is known for its exceptional hiking and backpacking opportunities, as well as abundant wildlife including black bears, mountain lions, and rare bird species.
