Awesome views of the Ogden Valley to the West and Morgan valley to the East at the summit. Parking right next to trailhead on Fernwood. Very steep climb for most of the way, great for training.
We started from the trailhead near the Castle Home. We actually climbed Layton Peak while trying to traverse over to Thurston Peak. It took longer than expected and we hiked the last couple miles back in the dark.
Downclimbed to the Great Western Trail and headed over to Thurston peak. Thurston is very over-grown and gnarly; I could not find a safe route to the top.
