I'm not looking for the easiest hike, but more along the lines of easy route selection and hopefully no mountaineering. Any and all input is appreciated.

Mt Evans via Guanella Pass is pretty good. I did a trip in May back in '98 or so and skied all the way back to my car. Well, I should say that we carried our skies over the west ridge both to and from the summit, but no rope needed. Definitely easy nav.
