Silver Lake, Lake Solitude & Twin Lakes Loop is a lovely trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It has beautiful views, wildlife & obviously lakes, ha! We saw marmots, pikas and a hummingbird. No moose, though someone we passed had seen one. There is some construction to detour around near Twin Lakes. It is moderate, with some steep sections.
We tracked this at just about 4 miles total.
