King Range Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Humboldt County, US.
The King Range Wilderness stretches over 42,585 acres along the California coast, featuring steep slopes that rise 4,000 feet within three miles from sea level.
In 2006, the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act established this protected area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The region holds evidence of Wiyot and Yurok settlements dating back 2,800 years, with artifacts revealing extensive indigenous habitation patterns.
Visitors require navigation skills as the wilderness contains minimal signage and facilities across its 80 miles of hiking trails through varied terrain.
The area contains undisturbed dune systems without European dune grass, distinguishing it from other coastal regions north of San Francisco.
