Sol Duc Falls
A waterfall where the river splits into three or four streams that fall into a narrow gorge, viewed head-on from a wooden bridge, with a trail through moss-covered rainforest.
Sol Duc Falls lies at the end of the road south of the hot springs resort. The river splits into three or four streams that drop at once into a narrow, deep basalt gorge. A wooden bridge above the gorge offers a head-on view, making it one of the most photogenic waterfalls on the peninsula. From the parking lot it is about 1.3 km one way on a gentle path through giant trees and moss-covered rainforest, a round trip of about 1 hour. In winter the road may close due to snow.
