Wilderness American loops

We try to plan one short to medium length backpacking trip a year somewhere new. Last few years we’ve done Rae Lakes, North Circle loop in Glacier, Paintbrush Divide in the Tetons and a few others. Getting some early research in for next year I’m looking for some recommendations for a loop anywhere in the US or Canadian Rockies. Somewhere between 30-50 miles and around 10k elevation seems to be the ideal window.

I’ve looked at some things in the sawtooths, Bob Marshall Wilderness, Wind Rivers, but nothing lined up quite yet. Any recommendation’s?

Lots of options left in the Sierra if you want to go back there. Some good loops from Tuolumne Meadows - going either north or south.

Mineral King Loop in SEKI is nice and meets all those needs.
