Sol Duc Lovers Lane Loop Day Hike

Lovers Lane & Hot Spring Day Hike

Trip Highlights:

Sol Duc Falls

Sol Duc Hot Springs

Sitka Spruce

The trail to Sol Duc Falls begins beyond the Sol Duc Hot Springs and Resort, at the end of the road. The impressive Sol Duc Hotel once stood at the site of the current hot springs and resort. Opened in 1912, the five-star hotel and resort drew crowds from all over the world until it was destroyed by fire in 1920.

The Lover's Lane trail follows the Sol Duc river upstream, connecting to Sol Duc campground, Sol Duc Falls and the resort/ hot spring. The first section of trail is easy and beautiful as you meander through dense luschious under story. As you proceed upstream, the trail steepens moving further from the river and deeper into a beautiful forest of towering Douglas-firs, hemlocks, and a few Sitka spruce. It continues to climb steeply to Sol Duc falls, visible from a bridge in an impressively lush canyon. Cross the bridge, stop for some photos, and return to via the trailhead on the other side of the river to catch a soak at the hot springs.

I did a private one-on-one hike with a guide to Half Dome. This was such an amazing experience! The guide was very knowledgeable regarding Yosemite, and I realized I wouldn't have completed it without the help of the guide. His expertise and calmness during the cables really enabled me to push through and complete this amazing hike!”

We were a group of 7 family members (ages 22-65 years old), for all of us was our first hiking/backpacking/camping experience. We all have such an amazing yet challenging experience, it was really worthy! Thank you so much to our guides Nicole and Jack for your cheers, your spirit, your cooking, your yoga time, your knowledge and for doing this family trip so great! We really enjoy it!!

I booked a guided hike for Clouds Rest as I was unsuccessful in my ballot for Half Dome. My friend was unable to make it so I decided to book a guided hike for myself. From beginning to end, Lasting Adventures was great. They replied to me quickly, and my guide was excellent! He offered me hiking poles in case I hadn't taken any and had plenty other essentials on hand.
