Starting up the Desolation Trail. The trail splits shortly after, take the Thaynes Canyon Trail.

Eventually, the Thaynes Canyon Trail bumps into the Desolation Trail. I followed it east and it does a few switchbacks to get below the summit of Thayne Peak.



There's Thayne Peak! A few switchbacks to go.
