Considering that hiking season is just beginning, I just wanted to put in another plug for the PMT — the Pine Mountain Trail, which took me through the wilds of Eastern Kentucky a few months back. Here’s my story about my experience on the trail. This trail is magnificent (and, apparently, it is better marked these days.) If you have a chance to hike this thing, you should — and afterwards, you should definitely stop over at Whitesburg, Kentucky. The people are very friendly out there (although I can’t recommend the bourbon-flavored beer.)
