Lake Solitude is a lake located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The 0.5-mile (0.80 km) in circumference natural lake is situated at the head of north Cascade Canyon and is a popular destination for hikers and backpackers. From the Cascade Canyon trailhead on the west shore of Jenny Lake, the lake is a distance of 7.2 miles (11.6 km) and there is an altitude gain of 2,252 feet (686 m) along the Cascade Canyon Trail and Lake Solitude Trail. An alternate route to the lake from the north begins at String Lake and steeply climbs through Paintbrush Canyon to Paintbrush Divide on the Paintbrush Canyon Trail and then descends to Lake Solitude after a 11.5-mile (18.5 km) hike with an altitude increase of over 4,000 feet (1,200 m) to the divide.

  • If you are a good hiker and can hike many miles, it is worth it to go all this way. You can take ther ferry from Jenny Lake to Cascade Canyon and then past Hidden Falls to Lake Solitude and back...

  • Hiked Lake Solitude via String Lake parking lot and Cascade Canyon in mid-June. 17.5 miles, 4 miles in the snow. Once you are in Cascade Canyon it is relatively flat and easy and just about anyone...

  • Beautiful as beautiful can be. Especially on horseback 🐴🤠 Lots of rocks, so shoes or boots are a must. Enjoy!
  • We love this hike, it is the longest hike that we've done from car door to car door it was 16.8 miles.the great thing about this hike is that the views along the trail to the lake and back out are some of the most stunning views that you will ever encounter!
