Sol Duc Falls — Monday, Jul. 22, 2019

The trails leading to Sol Duc falls were lush with wildlife and tall trees, as always. Midsummer is usually drier, but there were some overcast and light rain that cooled off the heat of the midday. The falls were occasionally crowded and there were people perching or standing dangerously close to sudden drops and edges, but the air is crisp and the roar of the falls drowns out much of the human activity. It's a beautiful place to be.
