I am looking for a loop hike that would be a great 3-4 night backpacking trip of around 30 miles and less than 8000 ft elevation gain. The closest thing I have found so far is the Buck Creek Spider Gap loop at 44 miles and 7200 ft gain. I am thinking it is just too long, though. Hiking in 4 weeks Sept 8-11. Would love to be up in the alpine with beautiful views. etc... Thanks for the suggestions.

NF Sauk-White Pass-Blue Lake-Pilot Ridge is pretty close to 30 miles. That's a nice area on the west side of Glacier Peak Wilderness.

Two that might fit the bill..... https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8027779

I think the Devil's Dome loop is in the mid-30's, or you can cut it down to that by using the Ross Lake water taxi. One of the most spectacular trips I've ever taken.
