Bald Hills Road runs along a coastal ridge line in the Redwood National Park that connects eastern CN71 with western CN81. There is convenient access from Hwy 101. Do some scouting further east along this road to find the best spot.

The CN81-91 grid line is about a mile west of Grizzly Peak CN98ad and about five miles due north of Iron Canyon Reservoir. This spot provides a good horizon in all directions except West.

Driving directions: Make your way to Grizzly Peak (41.14459, -121.97927).
You need to access it from South, from Big Bend, since it is not accessible from North.
Travel due west on unpaved roads to Lofton Ridge.
The last mile is not shown on Google Maps but the track is visible in satellite views.
