Fremont and Doyle Peaks

Jim · Post by **Jim** » Sep 04 2010 12:38 pm

The plan is to leave from Schultz Tank around 10 am and hike to Doyle Saddle. From there we will hike up to Fremont and Doyle Peaks. See the 22 year old register on Doyle and the even older cabin which is falling apart. It will be a little early to have peak color on the Weatherford, but it should still be good and will hopefully be a nice day.

For the interest of others, what do you think the mileage and elevation estimates would be for this? 13-14 miles and 4300 feet AEG?

There's a cabin on Doyle? I should have stayed another day and gone for those. I also noticed a trail branching off from about halfway down on Weatherford that looked like a ridiculously steep back way to Fremont. Or was it created by ten thousand people who had to find out where that little trail goes?

Yeah, maybe 12 miles and 4400'.

Is else anyone considering committing to this? I ask in case this gets rolled into the Fall Photo thingy.

I will very likely be there.

Well, OK then.

I think I'll most likely be there, too. Gotta see what my girlfriend's work schedule is that weekend. If I go hiking on her day off-- I'll be in trouble.

Hate to do this, but I think I'm going to have to cancel. I need to double check the dates but it looks like I've got a family thing I have to go to do on this day

Hey Jim, do you have any comment on this? I'm not sure if I could pinpoint it on the map, but there is something more substantial than a game trail that heads off in that direction. I wasn't in the mood to explore it very far.

Can you be more specific to the location?

I see how it is. This is because I shaved, isn't it!

I wish I had marked it. It was just about where the aspens ended, coming off the left side (going up) of one of those switchbacks whose left sides seem to be on a ridge of Fremont. I wish I had realized at the time that my curiosity would linger.

It may be just an animal trail. I've been on a few up there that are really well trodden. Some areas of the grassy south slope are almost covered in them.

I know, I'm bummed. Someday. The Voltron reference reminds me of 36 Chambers....

I don't want anyone seeing me hike with some yuppie-scum lookin' fellow.

Jake may or may not go, but I'm still planning on this.

Plans changed...this is looking like a "most likely" for me now!
