This is a great stroll of a hike through a beautiful forest. A great hike for hikers of any ability or for families. We originally planned to hike up to Deer Lake, but it was raining a lot and decided to get back to our warm campsite instead. The falls are pretty and worth seeing! It's a good hike too if you don't have a lot of time and just want to get out in nature. You can also drive up to about a mile away from the falls if you don't want to do the 5 mile loop from the resort.

Labor day weekend. Oh, so many people. But we snagged a camping spot and had driven a ways to get here so this made sense. And it is lovely. First time we have done it including the trail from the campground. Saw a doe with 2 nearly grown fawns. Australians, Swedes and Bostonians. It is a destination. The falls were lovely and few, if anyone, continued up to the really nice stuff.

I would classify this as an easy trail. We did the 6 mile loop starting at the resorts. Nice, easy grade, did not see many people. At three miles we found a bridge and what we thought was Sol Duc Falls .... It wasn't. We continued and discovered the actual falls- very impressive. Then we continued on the loop and ended up at the campground. We had to walk through the campground and on the road to get back to the resort, making it 7 miles total. The traffic picks up a lot around the falls and on the two mile walk.
