looking for trip suggestions for 4-day blow-your-mind CO trek
I'm taking brother in law on first extended (4 day) backpacking trek. He has spent a great deal of time in Summit County and Front Range. I want to show him the diversity that CO mountains have to offer... I was thinking of going down to the Sangre de Cristos, or Uncompahgre. Anybody have any suggestions for a non-shuttle hike? I suppose a 4-day loop hike would be best, but not essential. Trip length can't be too intense for his first time. I suppose around 30 mi. or less would be ideal.
I know the 4-Pass Loop around the Maroon Bells... Beautiful, but I'm looking for something even more different (and I just did that trek with my wife).
Thanks for any ideas.

Nobody?
Anybody done any of these loops?
Goose Creek Loop in the Weminuche (35mi)
Ute Creek Loop in the Weminuche (28mi)
Elk Creek/Valle Victoria Loop in the South San Juans (28mi)
Any other suggestions?

About 9 years ago, a friend and I did the Eagle Nest Wilderness area loop. Supposed to be 25 with unintended wandering became 30+.
Epic trip.
