Beyond the Pavement: Lost Coast


Join Backland Adventures and Storyteller Overland for an unforgettable Beyond The Pavement Lost Coast experience. This three-day, two-night guided adventure will boost your confidence in your van's capabilities as you explore the hidden gems of California’s Lost Coast. From breathtaking ocean views to towering coastal redwoods, this journey offers scenic and historic destinations along both paved and unpaved roads—perfect for beginners.

Starting Friday in Ferndale, CA, we'll head to the coast, traveling along a mix of dirt trails and pavement, with a lunch stop offering stunning views. We’ll spend the night at Shelter Cove Campground. Saturday brings off-road trails with incredible ocean & mountain vistas, ending with a boondock style campout near the beach. Sunday features a relaxed morning, simple self-recovery demonstrations on the beach, and a final drive down the Pacific Coast Highway, concluding just north of Fort Bragg, CA.

With cozy campfires, delicious catered meals, and great company, this is a trip you won’t forget!
