Mostly Dry - Some wet areas, but little mud. Beautiful loop, lush vegetation and two sets of water falls with many shady spots for a breather or snack break. Difficult to find final mile of trail from Sol Duc Falls parking lot to hot springs resort parking lot. Map given to us at entrance showed route along road which was concerning but we followed that. Didn't see open trail to avoid main road once we reached campgrounds.
