Not much to say that hasn't already been said about this one. We hadn't been since we learned to photograph waterfalls, so it was a must-see for our trip to ONP. We stayed in the campground nearby, and the cloudy rainy weather made for a good waterfall hike. 

This was a beautiful hike but the loop part is a little confusing. We started at the parking lot past the campgrounds, instead of by the resort. From there it’s 0.8 mi to Sol Duc Falls.

Once you reach the falls, cross the bridge and turn right. You should see the Lover’s Loop sign (and Duck Lake) within a few minutes. The first few miles are incredible. We barely saw anyone on the trail. Hiking boots are a must as there are lots of rocks and roots on this skinny path. Also, it was pretty muddy in some places.

Once you reach the resort, go through the parking lot. (Good spot for a bathroom break!) Next to the entrance there’s a nice path that goes to and through the campgrounds. Once you get through the campgrounds, the final 2 miles are really lovely again, though not as rainforest-y as the beginning of the trail. 

Another wet, drizzly day and another wonderful Washington waterfall. Hiked the short, muddy trail to Sol Duc Falls. Lots of other hikers on a Saturday afternoon. The falls are amazingly beautiful and powerful. Summarized appropriately by a 7 or 8 year old boy who reached the falls ahead of his family:  "Wow!! Come look at this!!" The forest and streams along the trail are equally beautiful.

Would recommend good sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting muddy!

Hiked to Sol Duc Falls, trail is in fine shape only thing to note is the bridge over Sol Duc Falls is very slippery. 

Hiked SolDuck Trail to Deer Lake and beyond with the hope of hiking Seven Lakes Basin Loop via the High Divide. Intermittent deep snow on trail beyond Deer Lake, but not hard to cross. Snow firm with no post holing. Few obstacles on trail. Lost trail in valley below High Divide Ridge due to snow. Hiked back the way we came.
