I second the idea for exploring Roaring River Country. Lost Lake is a personal favorite, and Beville, Ranger, Jennie, and Seville Lakes are really nice as well. Other than at Jenny Lake and maybe Ranger, you probably won't see too many people out there. If you're comfortable incorporating a little off-trail hiking, I would highly recommend heading south to Crescent Lake from Beville. It's an easy route to navigate; just follow the mini-ridge line that runs between the two lakes north of Crescent. The Sheep Camp Lake next to Lost is worth checking out as well. Someone above suggested beginning this route from Big Meadows, but it can also be done starting out from Lodgepole, which I prefer as it makes the spectacular view of Ranger Lake from below Silliman Pass feel more earned.
