Ebbetts is 2 passes (1 each side). So is Monitor. Do both sides of Ebbetts. If you are feeling ambitious continue beyond the Ebbetts turnaround (the level part at the bottom of the back side of the pass) to Pacific Grade.24%
Carson will be the most heavily trafficked pass - but it is also the widest. Monitor is nice. Dropping down to 395 on the backside is the lowest elevation (which means it is the longest sustained climb on the way back up.)
ETA: I just looked back at my journal. Ebbetts out and back from Grover Hot Spirings is 55 miles. About 5500 feet of climbing - but it has the nice long rolly/flat stretch by the river.
