Sol Duc Valley

  • View Larger Image

Sol Duc Valley

Old-growth forest, subalpine lakes, and snowy peaks populate the Sol Duc landscape, while the Sol Duc River serves as a key highway for coho salmon, running through the valley and ascending to the lakes and headwaters in the surrounding mountains.

The Sol Duc Valley is located in the northwest region of the park. Just 40 minutes west of Port Angeles, the Sol Duc is accessed by turning off Highway 101 onto the Sol Duc Road (directions).

For those looking to spend anywhere from a few hours to an entire day in the Sol Duc, there are a number of shorter hikes that may be suitable. From the parking lot, the walk through old-growth forest to the Sol Duc Falls overlook is just a mile. Lover’s Lane (6 mile loop) and the climb to Mink Lake (5.2 miles roundtrip) can also be done in just a few hours.

The Sol Duc Valley has a number of longer hiking trails which explore both the valleys and the mountains. The High Divide Loop that passes through Seven Lakes Basin is a popular 2-3 day hike. The views of Mount Olympus are astounding on a clear day.

The Salmon Cascades overlook is another popular destination during late October/early November. About 5 miles down the Sol Duc Road, visitors come to watch the determined coho salmon leap over the falls on their way to spawn upstream in the Sol Duc River.

Make sure to check the park’s fishing regulations!

Smell of paint initially; room key didn't work on first try.

The Inn was a nice place to lay our heads for a couple of nights. I visited with my parents and both our rooms were clean and with everything in good working condition. I was pleased by their last-minute accommodation of my father’s mobility issues, although I doubt they could have been as flexible during their busy season, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re not going in the dead of winter. The amenities were fairly standard, with a hair dryer, iron and board, coffeemaker, fridge and microwave. The Inn was also close to many coffee places, a convenience store, grocery store, and several restaurants, as well as convenient to many tourist activities. I’ll stay here again if I get back that way.
