Sol Duc Valley region of Olympic National Park, Washington

The source of the Sol Duc River lies within Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Coursing down from the Olympic mountain range, it twists and turns through the old-growth forest of the park, creating tranquil scenes like this one, as the Sol Duc makes its way toward the Pacific Ocean. And as National Park Week comes to a close, we encourage you to get out and visit some of the amazing spaces our national parks have to offer. Maybe soon you’ll find yourself in the Sol Duc Valley, enjoying this moss-covered landscape and listening to the river’s song in person.
