Review:
Located in the central Wasatch Mountains above Salt Lake City, Thayne Peak and nearby Thayne Canyon offer locals and visitors a picturesque mountain and forest setting for walking, hiking, and trail running.
Hiking is at its best from May to October and there is a choice of trails that will reward you with exceptional views from the summit.
You can start your hike at the Desolation Trailhead in Millcreek Canyon and then choose the Thayne Canyon Trail (2.75 miles to the summit) or the Desolation Trail (4.75 miles to the summit) or combine the two to make a loop trail.
Thayne Peak can be hiked all year round, but you will probably need snowshoes in winter, when the peak is covered in snow. Map
