Still some forested sections, but there are nice views for the majority of the hike up the switchbacks.

Doyle Saddle, view up toward Doyle Peak. There's not really enough of a social trail to recommend trying to stick to it. Just head up.

Loose and steep terrain, Class 2.

View back down to Doyle Saddle, center. Fremont Peak visible up top.

More steep stuff.

Higher up along the ascent.

The terrain mellows out and stays pretty flat for the last few hundred feet to Doyle Peak's summit.

Just before the summit of Doyle Peak a few at the other Kachina Peaks. Fremont Peak left, Agassiz Peak center, Humphreys Peak right.
