I went on a loop I've been wanting to do for awhile. Starting at Arroyo Park I ran up Hemlock and Salal up to the back side of Raptor ridge, then out to Pine and Cedar Lakes. From there I had never been further but wanted to loop around to Chin Scraper and down to Lost Lake and back. The trail out of Pine & Cedar was not obvious, but I took a stab at one that hadn't looked used in awhile and it turned out to be correct. There were a couple more junctions I had to guess at but eventually found my way to Chin Scraper, which indeed lives up to its name. The top is the one part of the Chuckanuts that has been logged in recent years, and the view is spectacular. It's a 360 viewpoint with Mt. Baker to the east, the Puget Sound to the West, the Canadian Cascades to the north, and nice views of Lake Samish and Lost Lake.
I found the connecting trail to Lost Lake and was finally on familiar trail again. Total time was 2:36. Rougly 3000 feet of climbing between the two major hills.
EDIT: Turns out that wasn't Chin Scraper I went up. Turn left on the Lost Lake trail would have gotten me there instead of right. That would make the total climbing closer to 4000 ft... I might keep this in mind if I ever feel truly masochistic.
