Beginning at Schultz Tank, this trail doesn't waste time and starts a steady climb all the way to Doyle Saddle. At the 1/2 mile mark, keep right on the Weatherford Trail and at about 2 miles you will enter the Kachina Wilderness. Although it's never excessively steep, it's very consistent the whole way. During your ascent you will pass through varied forests of spruce, fir, and lusciously green aspen. Along with the wide open meadows, the aspen help provide spectacular panoramic views. At about the 7 mile mark, you will crest the Doyle Saddle which at around 10,800ft provides great Inner Basin and surrounding views. From here, you can return or continue the trek up Humphrey's Peak (another 3+ miles)
