Here's a route which will offer a flavour of the Chuckanuts whilst staying away from the black diamonds.

With all the climbing on green circle trails, be prepared for some steep gradient, but it's not too technical.

Ensure that you pay Raptor Lookout a visit; it's just to the left when Huckleberry Trail meets Raptor Ridge.
