Description

This is a very easy loop trail accessible from the north or south via parking along the Sol Duc Hot Springs road. The trail forms a loop through massive old growth and lush moss. You'll get some nice views of the Sol Duc River from the west side of the trail. There is a small marsh along the southern end.
