I like to step out of the plane and hit the trails. Living in the north east, there are 3 airports I know of that provide you the ability to get on a hiking trail pretty quickly. The first is North Adam's, Massachusetts (KAQW). You can pick up a trail that goes up Mount Greylock, 1.5 miles from the airport.
The second is Bar Harbor, Maine (KBHB). You can get a short bus trip into Acadia National Park from here that has a good amount of hiking and a very nice touristy town with good food.
The third is Provincetown, Massachusetts (KPVC). Just across the street is a beach on the ocean and there's a good paved trail that goes south down the Cape that has some nice beach nature scenery.
What other good hikes are out there?
