Hiking loop ideas around alpine lakes? 20-30 miles

This is a subject (loop hikes) that is one of my passions.

County Line Trail on the NF Teanaway ... Bean Creek Trailhead - Beverly Ck - Fourth Ck - Hardscrabble Ck tr - Count Line Tr - Stafford Ck tr - Startup Ck tr - Bean Creek tr - TH    14 miles 5200'  Plenty of water every mile or 2

Here's one on the east side of Mt Rainier.  Stash a bike at Chinook Pass.  Drive down to Ohanapacosh, hike up to Laughingwater Ck then up Laughingwater to PCT then North on PCT to Chinook and coast (on your bike) back to the car.  The bit on the PCT is about 10 miles with little water.  This is what I call a (B,H)ike pronounced BUH-HIKE.

Another (B,H)ike is to stash a bike at Alpental and drive back to Denny Creek and hike up to Melakwa Lake and then on to Melakwa Pass then over to Gem Lake and down to Snow Lake and back to Alpental.  Big time coast (on the bike) back to the car.

In the North Cascades there is an 18 mile loop starting at Bridge creek and going around Stiletto Peak.  Have not done this one but there should be a sketchy trail up and down Copper pass, then over Twisp Pass and down to the Crest trail and out. About 19 miles and 5000'

In the Olympics, there is the old stand-by, the High Divide.  I think it is about 20 miles.

If you are into some off trail travel including navigation, check out the Alpine Lakes High Route described in the Beckey climbing guide - a version that I think would match your mileage and will hit more cool lakes than what he describes is to go in via Foss Lakes and out via Necklace Lakes. Very memorable trip for me and for the folks who joined me for it. the nwhikers forum has some TRs as well as other discussion of the route including a very recent thread that includes some discussion of what folks think is the best way to go from Chetwoot Lake to Iron Cap Pass (Dayhike Mike seems to have the best notion there from what I can see - we did a much lower route as described in Beckey, going past Azurite Lake).

I didn't realize that there were traverse suggestions in the becky guides, I've gotta go bakc and check them out now. Thanks for the heads up.

not alpine lakes but wide variety of scenery and you can bring a dog and you wont see very many people - phelps creek to buck creek via spider meadows, ok to do in low top hiking shoes but bring your poles for fhe snowfield climb
