I think that hike is about 10 miles as I remember. Could be wrong. I did it with Mike P over memorial day last year. Was snow at the top of east. I started at Osceola Mike P started at Mt tecmseth(sp) I dropped him there. and he did West as well and then he road hiked to Osceola. I left my car at Osceola. He left his at greeley ponds. My portion was 7 hours.

8-10 mile hikes not too rough:

Pierce & Jackson

Pierce & Ike (either need two cars or road walk a bit or out & back on C-Path

Garfield, not a loop but one of the best Views in the whites.
Hale up Hale Brook, down Lend-a hand & past hut, 1 mile road walk on Zealand Road, I've done this & the road walk after Edmands Path & Zealand is a nicer safer walk

The whole Osceola loop or even hitting East requires you to go up & down the Chimney or use the bypass which is still not easy, Osceola is easy.

Carrigain via Signal Ridge, do not use Desolation Trail if you want easy although it would be a loop.

While Flume & Liberty via Liberty Springs & F-Ridge (not Flume Slide) might not be difficult, there is some tougher terrain getting up & down Liberty heading towards Flume, not hard really but not just walking either

Moosilauke, I swear the DOC make the Freshman move the big rocks out of the way. Beaver Brook is steep, nice loops from the DOC Lodge.
