Looking for a moderate route in the Winds for my sister

My wife and I just finished our 2nd trip to the Winds this year this past labor day weekend and I was blown away *again* by the majesty that place offers.

We did a loop out of Elkhart park: started toward Titcomb then cut off on the highline trail, past the Jean Lakes then past Elbow lake, down to Glimpse lake, then down to Long lake and back up to the car. The last day was a bit of a grind climbing back out to the car, especially with the weather that blew in. We did this in 2 nights (3 days) which might be more than my sister could swallow. She is in remission from stage 4 breast cancer and I really don't want to overdo it with her health and that last day would definitely push her limits. I think if we added a day or two she could do it, but I'd rather not test it. I'm wondering if someone can suggest a route that is a bit less strenuous for her.

Our first trip this year we started at Big sandy, went due north up over Haley pass then down to Valentine lake, up and over the Lizard Head trail, to the Cirque of the towers, over jackass and back out to the car. I think that might be too much for her too.

I'm considering a route that would start at Green river lakes, then up to Summit lake and then backtrack the way my wife and I traveled this past weekend (up to Elbow lake, then down past the Jeans and out). I just don't know what the climb from GRL to Summit is like and that's where I need some input. I'm confident that my sister could do what we did in reverse (save the decent down to Long lake and back up).

Can anyone provide some suggestions for a moderate route to take in the Winds? I'd like to do either another loop or a point to point route (don't mind paying for a shuttle for a ptp route). I'm thinking 4 days at the most would be good for her (3 nights).

TIA

My suggestions based on yours...

Green River Lakes - skip Summit Lake - it's a boring place - go via Peak Lake / Shannon Pass instead - some of the most spectacular scenery in the range. Climb out of the Green ain't bad - just long - like 15 miles to Peak Lake.

As for Big Sandy - Shadow Lake -> Texas Pass -> Cirque -> Jackass is a good 3 day loop. If you want really mellow - just hike to Big Sandy or Clear Lake and spend the 2nd day either hiking to the Cirque - or up to Deep Lake and back around to Clear.

My two cents anyway

thanks for the tip. Just looking at a map, the only thing I think may prove to be a challenge for her is that "Cube Rock Pass"...contours look pretty close together there. Does that switch back nicely or is it a pretty good grind to get up and over that?

Its a bit rocky - but it is an easily follow-able trail, I would think not an issue if she could walk the 14 miles to that point without issue.

Enjoy! Spectacular place!
