Just looked for this in my outgoing mailbox and didn't see it, so I'll try again.
If you're willing to put up with the scornful looks that will likely accompany its use, I'd be happy to send you my old Camp Trails external frame pack. Way old school, but if you're going to be on trails, you'll get much better back ventilation with it than you'd get with an internal frame pack. ~4K in^3 for the bag iirc, with the sleeping back strapped on underneath. For off-trail scrambling, the internals are better. Spent a total of many months on the trail over it's early life, but it's just been living in my basement for the past 20 years. Other than that, I'd probably stick with REI.
