Wyoming trails · Solitude Loop
A 17.9-mile out-and-back in Wyoming, with 1,693 ft of climbing. Reaches Florence Pass and other lake/pass destinations. Managed by USFS 020201.
Most of the climbing sits in the first third — 57% of the ascent, between mile 0.0 and mile 6.0. It gives back about 2,868 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:59 a.m., the sun rises at 6:29 a.m. and sets at 7:46 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:16 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 17 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 35.8-mile round trip works out to roughly 14 h 57 min of walking — more than a single day of daylight here, so plan it as an overnight or hike it in sections.
