Can anyone suggest a good 5-7 day trip for North Cascades National Park in mid June? I’ve never been there, and read the past discussions, and those trips seem great, but they were for quite a bit later in the season.

Check out wta.org and nwhikers.net for all kinds of good trail info. The forums at nwhikers are great for questions like this and there are all kinds of trail reports so you know what you are getting into.

I check for road and trail closures on the Forest Service web sites for planning and just before leaving. Spring rains and floods can make a mess of hiking plans. There's nothing like driving 75 miles to find a closed sign. The state DOT web site has info on the highway itself. There was a landslide that they are still working on. It has links to snow levels for Rainy Pass and Washington Pass too. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/passes/northcascades/

The book "100 Classic Hikes in Washington" has several loop hikes in the North Cascades.
