Just some exploratory research. I'll be reading through some of the backpacker magazine archives as well. Anyone aware of any 30-100 mile loops that would be amazing? I would be excited to see mountains, volcanos, canyons, waterfalls. Maybe some coastline if the first 4 objectives are near.

Class 1-2, maybe easy 3s prefered.

cheers

I am leaving in July to hike from Laugavegur to Skogar. Later, I will be hiking in Hornstrandir out to the Horn (there are a lot of trails and loops in Hornstrandir). Have fun.

I looked into some Iceland trips fairly recently (wasn't able to go; had another baby), and as mentioned above Laugavegur seemed to be a popular choice, which at least means it'll be relatively accessible and you'd be able to get a lot of good info for it. There were quite a few options here: http://www.fi.is/en/hiking-trails/ though it seems like a bunch of their links are broken now, but you can at least use that to find the names to look up elsewhere
