Trails on Sol Duc Hot Springs Road

 There are two short trails on Hot Springs Road - Salmon Cascades and Ancient Groves Nature Trail Loop. Both have descriptions on the Physical/Mobility Accessibility section of the park website. The section is a little misleading. The text reads: "Knowing that people have all different kinds of needs and abilities, the following trails have been evaluated in detail, by and for people with disabilities. You know best what is accessible to you, so read on to find details about what the surface of the trail is like, its width, slope, what parking options are nearby, and detailed descriptions of each part of the trail and any features that may affect your experience." But there's no way to know what type of disability the person or persons evaluating the trails have. 

The Salmon Cascades Trail is very short with a wide, hard packed dirt surface. It leads to a wooden deck that overlooks the cascades - no salmon running at this time of year.  Out 25' RV just fit in the pull-in parking spaces so there's no room for large RVs.

 Nothing about the Ancient Groves Nature Trail Loop is accessible. The first obstacle is a jumble of large roots and it doesn't get any better from there. We pushed on until we came to a very narrow, steep section with a drop off on one side and a hill on the other side. I thought that we would be okay if we just got past this section but it was too scary and dangerous and we ended up backing down. (I forgot to take a picture.) Parking is parallel to the road and long enough for any RV but may fill.  Sol Duc   48.02296, -123.92362
