Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Sol Duc Falls is only a 1.8 mile RT trail from the main parking lot. Not too much elevation climb. But then you are rewarded BIG TIME with a three horsetail falls with multiple view points. For this one I climbed out and down from the main trail.
Sol Duc has a hot springs and a lodge with little cabins for rent. It’s about 90 minutes from Sequim.
Watching these salmon run the rapids up the Sol Duc River to spawn was jaw dropping. They sure are determined. They’d launch and splat on the wall just to the right of this salmon. You could hear the slap from hundreds of feet away. Then they’d get swept back down the rapids…It’s gotta be frustrating even for a fish!
Kids getting in one last swim from the Fairholm dock on Lake Crescent. The water is always sooooooo clear here.
What a treat to have such dappled sunlight on the trail this am.
