North Fork of the Sol Duc River and Mount Muller

The next two days were spent in the Sol Duc River Valley, hiking through rain forest, soaking in hot springs, and enjoying the panoramic views from Mount Muller.

A great lunch spot, and turn-around point. Water was a little too frigid for swimming though.
