Lake Solitude is a lake located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The 0.5mi 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 7.2mi and there is an altitude gain of 2252ft 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 11.5mi hike with an altitude increase of over 4000ft to the divide.
