Lost Coast & Mattole Road - Cape Mendocino
United States · Mattole Rd
California's wildest wilderness coast where Highway 1 couldn't be built. Rugged, patched asphalt and gravel washouts threading past Cape Mendocino's wild Pacific surf, sheep ranches, and remote redwoods.
Lost Coast & Mattole Road - Cape Mendocino runs 65 miles between Ferndale, CA and Humboldt Redwoods / Weott, CA. We count about 340 corners along it, which is consistently bendy. Demanding, and not a road to meet in the wet.
