We are looking to backpack the upper coast trail in the end of March and are looking for shuttle options. I have heard differing reports as to the creek crossings, and one shuttle service is not running for personal reasons. Any one have any recent info? Anyone local want to help us set a shuttle?
Creeks won’t be a challenge at the beach. Â Been a bunch of times, never had a problem any time of year.
Did you contact Sherri at Lost Coast Shuttles?
Yes, she shuttled me on my previous trip, a friend of hers is ill, so she is taking some time off. Blu of the other shuttle service was the one who said water would be an issue due to this years El Nino. The ranger out in Eureka said all of the recent hikers had no issues. . .

I highly recommend getting the map and info packet from the BLM. They have a listing for shuttle options also.
Just plan to cross the major creeks close to the tide line on the beach and you will be fine. A group of us went one March and had the best weather I ever experienced there.
What is your creek crossing experience? Knee high, mid thigh? Anyone in your party particularly short?
