Hike up Cascade Canyon to Lake Solitude (15.2 miles)

Boat across Jenny Lake to the start of the area's trails... 

 

Jenny Lake below...

Remnant from a forest fire a few years ago...

 

 

A rare shot together on the trail...

 

Most people having turned around at Inspiration Point, we have the trail largely to ourselves for the main part of the hike...

Miche on the trail...

 

Our first moose on the other side of the river...

 

Mount Owen (I think)...

 

Summit...

Waterfall below Lake Solitude...

Lake Solitude (elevation 9000 feet)...

 

Looking back down the valley...

Pikas...

We also saw lots of marmots and a snake, but couldn't get a decent shot before they disappeared or blended in...

The same bull moose a little further downstream as we descend...

Two bull moose, one far left with just its antlers showing and the other on the right...
