Briefly about the general area:
A short trip to Pinnacle Spring is always worthwhile; get your heart pumping on the tremendous whitewater of Mattole River. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Coast Ranges. Fox Spring is an
inspiring site to stop by during your stay, and you can run the rapids of Eel River.
If you came for an overnight stay Horse Mountain Campground is a great place to camp; a pleasant visit to Fiddle Prairie is a delightful way to spend an afternoon. All the outdoors exciting
stuff in the Coast Ranges will keep you coming back persistently. Nearby Delgada Canyon is a glorious place to go if you're at King Crest Trail. If only every location had this much outdoors exciting things, what a great earth it would be. Some of the water nearby flows, like West
Fork Honeydew Creek; Tolkan Campground is a brilliant campground here.
Getting to Upper North Fork Honeydew Creek from King Crest Trail is painless, and Miller Flat is a charming place any time of year.
