Salmon Cascades Details
Salmon and other anadromous fish must swim upstream to their spawning grounds each year in order to reproduce, and the Salmon Cascades waterfall on the Sol Duc River is one of the best places to see this journey take place. A viewing platform gives you a perfect perch to observe the powerful fish swimming and leaping against the current.
