    Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort - Olympic National Park

    We stayed in a Sol Duc Kitchen Cabin with 2 queen beds. The cabin was nicely sized with a table and a small kitchen.

    The one thing to know is the cabins do not have air conditioning so if you are visiting on one of the few hot summer days you will want to get the windows open as soon as you can.

    We opened up the windows and there was a nice breeze that cooled off the cabin quickly.

    The highlight of a stay at the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort is included access to Sol Duc Hot Springs Mineral Pools!!! We started our day at the hot springs and it was amazing. Soaking in 106-degree mineral hot springs pools is the perfect way to soothe sore muscles from hiking the amazing Olympic NP Trails.

    The cabins provide easy access to Sol Duc Falls and other hiking trails in the area. The resort offers the opportunity to truly explore the Sol Duc Valley and Sol Duc River as it flows through the park. Surrounded by the old-growth forest this part of the Olympic National Park is truly breathtaking.
