Great option for a 1 or 2 night loop for those wanting to spend overnight time in Alpine Lakes.
We backpacked it as a one night loop up up up and over Longs Pass, up Ingalls Creek (gotta a bit lost here since map app had two trail options and northern option is better), stop at Lake Ingalls for a brisk swim, and then find campsite off Ingalls Way trail. Next morning over Ingalls Pass and around about to complete the loop and back to the trailhead. About 8 miles the first day and 4 miles the second and 4000' ascent total for the trip.
No shortage of views, a few tasty ripening salmon berries, and interesting rock geology.
