The falls are beautiful, but the short hike is equally as beautiful. There are several small cascades that are flowing over moss covered rocks which makes for an idyllic setting. More

From the Sol Duc Lodge it's a 6 mile round trip hike through the rain forest or drive closer to it and take a 1.6mile round trip easy hike. DO NOT take dogs! More

A must see if you are in the area. Beautiful water falls and some nice fairly easy trails though the woods. Very scenic streams and creeks running though the woods. The water is a great contrast to all of the green moss covered rocks and trees. Make sure you continue on the trails past the falls to see some of... More

If you have time to visit Sol Duc Falls while in Olympic, it's worth a visit. There were definitely other areas of Olympic that I enjoyed better, but the falls are a great sight and we got some great pictures. More

A very pretty, relatively flat walk back to a thundering waterfall. The river falls from a u shaped valley, into a narrow gorge at the falls - the sound is deafening. A nice walk for any age. More

This waterfall is interesting because it has three separate chutes, sort of different than the typical waterfall, and there is a bridge at the end that goes over it so you get a good view of it. More

I agree with all the other comments. This is definitely work the hike. One note of caution, the day hiking guide lists the longer hike as 5.2 miles from the Sol Duc Springs Resort to the falls (round trip). The loop is worthwhile but it's actually closer to 6.2 miles. For some people that difference is significant. Also, wear some... More

From Hwy 101 it's about 12 miles or 30 minutes up to where the road ends. During the drive up (and back) there were two road construction delays which added another 5+ minutes each way. After you arrive and park your vehicle, allow at least another 20-30 minutes to hike the short 0.8 mile trail to the falls. Taking photos... More

This is just an amazing experience. The trail is beautiful and once you see the first falls from the bridge - please go ahead a little distance more to the actual falls ! Those are amazing. We met a few people on the trail who gave us this tip and we are so glad - wanted to pass this on,... More
