Randall Creek empties into the Pacific Ocean about half-way between Mattole and Black Sands Beach, making for a convenient campsite on a safe flat terrace above the beach. Spring is the most beautiful time of the year to come here, as the meadows are covered with colorful spring flowers.
Most throughhikers exit at Shelter Cove road, though the trail continues. Each section takes about one day:
1: komoot.de/tour/8418519 Mattole to Randall Creek
