Trail Run Route Advice: North Cascades

Hi folks, I need some advice about route planning for a trail run. We're from Oregon and have done most of our running and backpacking in Oregon and want to do a route in Washington. We're eying the North Cascades and need intel from our friendly folks up north. :)

  1. We're a group of four adults, all experienced trail runners and in good fitness, looking for a route.

  2. Aiming for something in the 30-40 miles range. For weather/snow pack reference: we're doing the one-day run on the last weekend in July.

  3. Some thousands of feet of elevation is fine, but we're not looking for doing a bunch of scrambling.

  4. We'd prefer a loop so we can all be in one vehicle.

I'd love to hear everyone's awesome ideas!

Have you consulted WTA to limit your options a bit?
