A couple of trails that are currently on my short list are the 25-mile Fires Creek Rim Trail and the Chunky Gal Trail. The Chunky Gal connects to the AT, and will take you to the Fires Creek Rim Trail.
Here's a link to some info about the Fires Creek Rim Trail;

There is a guidebook available for the Chunky Gal & Fires Creek Rim Trails. It's available from John Ray. He's the same guy who did the guides to the Bartram Trail.
Here's another link about the area.

If you are interested in picking up a trail guide, or helping out with maintenance in this area, please drop me a note at [email protected]. For those of you going to Trail Days, I'll try and have my copy of the trail guide at the American Hiking Society booth. Drop by and say hello. You can take a peak at the guide if you like.
