This hike is part of a two-day car camp involving day hiking the Spruce Railroad Trail on Saturday, camping Saturday night at Sol Duc Hotsprings Campground, day hiking Sunday on a loop hike to Sol Duc Falls and soaking in the hot spring pools either Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  Anyone registering for the Spruce Railroad Trail hike must also register for the Sol Duc Falls Loop hike and camp Saturday night in one of the campsites reserved at Sol Duc Campground.  Leader permission is required to register for the two day hikes  to assure compliance with that requirement.

After breaking camp Sunday morning, we'll drive to the Sol Duc Resort parking lot, reassemble on the front porch of the Sol Duc Resort and then hike up the left side of Sol Duc River to Sol Duc Falls, our lunch spot, and then hike back on the opposite side of the river to  return to Sol Duc Resort, where we can end with a soak in the hot spring pools.
