From Loj - picking peaks for second day

Planning next adventure, looking at Veterans Day. We have hiked in late Nov and early April and are comfortable hiking / camping in the cooler almost-but-not-yet winter temps. Will probably grab a lean-to at the Loj so we have some comforts overnight - fire, dutch oven, flush toilets: the full Ritz treatment.

We really enjoyed our multi-peak Columbus Day trip so wish to come home with more than one this trip too. I think this trip I will try something new - second day climbing. Usually we are a tad stiff after a mountain but I am thinking nothing like hair of the dog that bit you. With that said the second day hike (third day too?) might want to be a bit easier.

Day one Colden via Lake Arnold. Tabletop maybe too? Liz has never seen Avalanche Lake. She would love Trap Dike but no way, since it is ice season soon.

Day two Street & Nye or Wright. We have Algonquin. Not sure if we should try to grab Iroquois as well. If so, maybe move this to Day 1. Or Grace from 73. Giant & RPR might be a jolt with their quick ascent.

Possible Day three: Porter. We were chased off Cascade's summit by a thunderstorm a while back. Skipped Porter :cry:. Porter might be something to tackle on way out of town.

Of course there is the AMR corridor. Plenty in there. I do not see any hunting season restrictions.

So I am looking for some feedback on the rigor of the proposed, possible substitutions, etc. We already have Phelps crossed off. Many thanks.
