I do most of my running on the Sammamish River Trail which is pancake flat, and I'm looking for good places to run that get ~150-200 ft of elevation gain per mile, ideally over a 16+ mile stretch (or 8+ miles as out and back)

I've gone on a lot of hikes in the area but either the footing is not really fit for running, or the popularity of the route is such that there are people all over the trail.

I'm curious if there are any road or trail stretches people would recommend for fairly high elevation gains for long stretches. Willing to drive a bit (up to an hour from Redmond) to check places out!

Thanks for any tips ahead of time 😁
