Rhys and I are going on our first real hike of the year this weekend, in a loop from the Glacier Gorge trailhead, up past Alberta Falls, between the Glacier Knobs, up to Lake Haiyaha and possibly to the top of the Chaotic Cascades. We'll return by taking the trail back down between Dream and Nymph Lake, down to the Bear Lake trailhead. We've hiked the Nymph/Dream/Emerald Lakes trail before, so I don't feel disappointed that we won't be hiking up it again - although it is very pretty, it is extremely crowded and does not make for a peaceful hike. I'd recommend it before hiking Hallett Peak, though, because you get a good look at what you'll be tackling.
I'm hoping Rhys is in the mood to scramble the Glacier Knobs - there's supposed to be a nontechnical route up each one, and rock scrambles seem to perk him up. The downside is that the Glacier Knobs are still early in the hike, so if he gets worn out scrambling I'm going to hear about it the rest of the trip.
