Ascent Trip ReportDidn't know this when I made my plans, but this makes a nice combo with Rainbow Ridge. Thankfully I had the Benchmark California Atlas with me and noticed the connection. If you can drive up to Lightning TH, you can drive here from Rainbow Ridge by continuing SW on Mattole Rd (paved but lots of potholes) to Honeydew, then south on Wilder Ridge Rd (well-paved) to King Pk Rd. Not sure but I think the roads were signed. You may want to have good maps. Very curvy most of the way, but have to think I saved time from going back down Mattole Rd to US-101, then down to Redway and out to King Pk.
