I enjoyed the views on the Manitou peaks over Anthony’s Nose, the downside of course is the traffic as the trail follows routes 6 for a bit. I believe the lesson I took away from the journey was to avoid out-and-back scrambles as the return trip can get pretty tricky (I.e., climbing/sliding down on my backside), this was my first such scramble – the other two have been loop trails.
Personally, my sweet spot is 5 – 8 miles with some steep elevations but not necessarily scrambles.
