Seven Lakes Basin

A hiking trail to the basin is 19 miles (31 km) round trip with about 4,000 feet (1,200 m) of elevation gain.

The loop trail starts by following the Sol Duc River near Sol Duc Hot Springs, traversing south past Sol Duc Falls before beginning a rapid elevation gain to eventually arrive at the High Divide separating the Hoh River valley from the Sol Duc valley, with views across the Hoh Valley to Mt.

While the basin itself in late summer is a barren rocky landscape, it is surrounded by high elevation old-growth forest and alpine meadows lush with wildflowers and wild blueberries.

Black Bear, marmots, black-tailed deer and Olympic Elk are common in this area.
