Really nice day-hike.  Level and easy for most.

Trailhead parking area is easily accessible with plenty of parking.  Sol Duc report, ranger station and campsite were closed and fenced off at the time of our hike.  

Lots of picnic tables on the way for spots along the river.

Hike is a breeze.  .8 miles to view point which is above the falls.  Trail continues for Deer Lake and others deeper into the park.

Ferns, moss and spring flowers were in full force.  

Stopped for lunch with a Asian Grain Bowl that we mixed up at the falls.  Nice change up from a deli sando. 

Trail was in great shape and trailhead was fairly quiet on a Monday afternoon, a few days after reopening. Such a gorgeous, short hike.

First time on this trail and I know it won't be the last! The weather was perfect, and only about 5 other people at the falls. Other than that we walked the whole way without bumping into someone. The trail itself was a little muddy, but not too bad. Everything was so green, and almost looked like something out of a fairy tale. 

A light rain accompanied us, keeping the usual crowds at bay. Some muddy spots, but easily navigable. The colors were spectacular though, all the way up the road as well as on the hike.

A crowded, popular trail for all ages in the Sol Duc Hot Springs area. It wasn't worth the trip for me, given the crowds (even multiple families bringing their dogs, which is clearly not allowed on this national park trail for good reason) and the slower flow of the falls in early autumn. I can imagine that the falls are a more impressive sight in late spring when the snow is melting.
