Besides Tuckermans, what does everyone think the best loop trail would be to summit Washington?

Although I have only hiked up Washington one time I really enjoyed the Jewell Trail up and the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail down. I know others that have done the same but in the opposite direction.

The Jewell was tree covered and wet for the first mile or two. Then it got above the tree line parallel to the Cog Railway.

Coming down the Ammonoosuc you follow the river and a few waterfalls.

I think Tucks is a classic, everyone that hikes Washington should do it at least once. Huntington is great as well but DO NOT mess around with it if the weather is less than ideal

We were thinking about camping the night at Hermit Lake then weather depending, do either Huntington or Boott Spur. How's the Boott Spur Link from Hermit Lake?
