Good 5-7 day Backpacking Trips in Glacier National Park?

Some friends and I are looking into a week-long backpacking trip into the Glacier NP backcountry this summer. We are looking for a trip of 4-6 nights that offers a good selection of classic Glacier scenery (mtn views, lakes, waterfalls, glacers) without being too much of an endurance test (we are all strong hikers, but want to be able to take our time and enjoy).

We have been looking at the Northern Circle (looks like some long rough days), Boulder Pass Trail, and the Highline. Anybody had any backpacking experience or advice on these? Other Glacier multi-day trips? General suggestions and advice on Glacer backpacking (none of us have been there before)?

    I did a six day trip to Glacier last September. We did the Highline trail and I would highly recommend it. Kootenai Lake campground was my favorite campground, moose feeding all day both nights we stayed there. When you plan your route try to set it going through stony indian pass. Have fun
