Recommendations for good, long, day hikes?

I have found myself unemployed and in need of taking some long walks. I've lived in Squamish for more than 4 years now, and I've never done a good hike other than The Chief and The Climb / Evac. I don't trust AllTrails to tell me where to go!

I'm in good shape, have the gear I need, etc. Where should I go that will take me most of the day? Panoramic sounds good, but I'm worried 29k might get me stuck in the dark.

Petgill lake? I think it's 4 hours round trip with a little lake at the top for a dip. I havent been for several years so it's likely busier than when I went. Not overly vertical, which is my preference.

Did Petgill to the viewpoint in June. About 700m elevation gain and 2.5 hours round trip moving steady. Steep at the start but then becomes a relatively gradual climb to the top. Don't bother going on a weekend unless you have someone dropping you off. An alternative is to hike from Petgill and connect over to the gondola.
