A spectacular meeting of land and sea is certainly the dominant feature of the King Range National Conservation Area. Mountains seem to thrust straight out of the surf; a precipitous rise unsurpassed on the continental U.S. coastline. King Peak, the highest point at 4,087 feet, is only three miles from the ocean.
The King Range covers 60,000 acres and extends along 35 miles of coastline
between the mouth of the Mattole River and Sinkyone Wilderness State Park.
