day hike: thaynes peak - June 2, 2013
This lower Millcreek Canyon hike is a counter-clockwise loop: first up to the Salt Lake Overlook and then trek around to Thaynes Canyon. From there we'll follow the Desolation Trail to the base of Thaynes and then switch-back-up to the summit - for wonderful vistas of Gobbler's Knob, Reynolds, and the north east face of Olympus. Bring lunch for a summit picnic. Hikers should plan on about 9 miles round trip and 2900 feet of climbing. This hike has a long descent down Thaynes Canyon, where many hikers find hiking poles helpful. Meet Elliott (801-969-2846) in the east parking lot of Skyline High at 8:00am.
