Why don't we post the best places in the Mid-Atlantic  for outdoors related stuff? Like hikes, rafting, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, camping, rock climbing, nature walks, seaside walks, snowshoeing, beaches, swimmin' holes, mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, places to meditate, whatever. Where do you like to be when doing this stuff?

Maybe it's a national park. Maybe you have a favorite trail, or you really dig a certain place to hike or you love rock climbing at a certain place. Perhaps it's the view from the top of a certain mountain you like best. Or maybe there's an area you like to go in order to do a bunch of things.

Please post your favorites. Should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with! We would like lots of responses, so fire away. [We are not looking for information on campgrounds, B&Bs, resorts, etc...this is for "public" places.]

I'll make this topic stick to the top for reference purposes!
