If you're a fan of The Suck™ hit Sinkyone Wilderness in December and enjoy getting rainblasted while slogging through this shit:

No joke though
this is my favorite trek in California. When it comes to coastal views, people hype about Big Sur, but Sinkyone is a fraction as crowded, far more remote, and gorgeous if you haven't been. At least that was the case last time I did it in 2012, could have become more popular since then.
Fun fact: I did
the road into Usal Beach, in March, while muddy, in a 2001 Toyota Camry lol

Little Jackass Creek (not to be confused with Jackass Creek, which is further down the trail at Wheeler Beach) has the most attractive campground of the hike. For that matter, it’s one of the most attractive campgrounds in any redwood park. It’s one of the highlights of the hike. Located in a lush glen surrounded by precipitously steep, high, redwood-covered hills, the campground is set in an old-growth redwood grove (maybe part of the Sally Bell Grove), with 10 or 12 medium-sized redwoods visible from the trail. There aren’t actually a lot of places where you can camp under old-growth redwoods, and none of them can really compare to this campground. Unusually, there are also maples; the lighter foliage of the maples contrasts with the darker, more formal-looking redwoods and gives the grove a distinctively friendly, leafy appearance. The burbling of a little brook fills the grove, even in late summer. A short trail leads to a secluded beach. In fact the entire area is so secluded that even on a Labor Day weekend, I didn’t see a single person in the area all day.
