Relative lack of people and the Sawtooth forest has some of the best lakes I've ever seen. Also, my mom is the one that got me into backpacking, and now that she's older I take her and my wife up there once a year as a way of thanks. So since she's older, it physically is still work like 3-4K climbs, but you don't get into any rough elevations like Colorado.
