Solitude Loop is a short, easy hike in the Powder River Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about a mile long and rises just 4 feet from its low point of 9,840 feet to a high of 9,873 feet, making it a gentle out-and-back. The Cloud Peak Cutoff Trail lies about 0.4 miles away, and the Elk Lake Cutoff is about 0.7 miles off, so the loop pairs easily with either of those routes. For an overnight stay, Hunter Campground is about 6 miles away, and the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area, a climbing area, is about 6 miles out.
