Leader's notes

Clockwise loop - up to Ingalls Pass (+2000ft, 3miles), down to Lake Ingalls, short up out of the lake basin, down to Ingalls Creek (-1600ft, 2.4miles), up to Longs Pass (+1200ft, 1mile), final descent back down to trailhead (-1600ft, 2.5mi). Total: 10mi-11mi and ~3800ft gain, depending on what mapping app you use.

Pace: power hike uphill, run the flats and downs. This route has plenty of elevation gain, so expect it to be a slower pace of mostly hiking.
