If you had one summer left in the Sierra, where would you backpack?

I am looking to do a 3 or 4 day backpacking trip with a friend of mine somewhere in the Sierra by the end of this month. I’m curious what some of your guys’ suggestions would be. This will be my last summer living in California since my wife and I are moving next year. As a result, I'm looking to do something special to top it all off. (Until some day I take a month off work to hike the JMT...(bucket list)).

If by some huge oversight you never did the North Fork of Big Pine creek, I would do that. Arguably the most dramatic alpine scenery in the range. 5 fourteen thousand foot peaks and a number of good looking lesser ones, like Cloudripper. The Palisades glacier is looking good for a change with all the snow we had this winter. And of course all the beautiful lakes, 7 or more.
