Aug 18, 2018 — My goal was to reach Thayne Peak, and the Thaynes Canyon Trail seemed the most efficient way to get there. Thaynes Canyon is a lush canyon with rock outcrops and typical Wasatch trail foliage encroachment, but it's in great shape and easy to follow. All junctions were marked by nice signs. Eventually the trail bisects the Desolation Trail, which I followed east. There were some nice tree-obstructed views of Millcreek Canyon along the way. The Desolation Trail curves south once it reaches the saddle on the south side of Thayne Peak. At this turn I located a social trail that led to Thaynes Peak's summit. From the summit, you can see the jagged Wildcat Ridge, as well as Mount Olympus, Mount Raymond, and Gobblers Knob.
