About This Trail

Imported description

The trail begins on the east side of West Ten Sleep Lake and goes through a forest and a lake. The trail is easy in the beginning and will lead to higher elevation. At West Ten Sleep Lake, the Big Horn National Forrest trail begins, and you can follow it to Lake Helen and Lake Marion. It has a lake with few trees surrounding it. The Solitude loop Trail intersects with the Mistymoon Trail upon entering the lake. This junction will lead you to the spot where most people start the summit of Cloud Peak.
