My wife and I are taking up hiking/backpacking as a hobby. I have some experience with both, but years removed when I was much younger and in much better shape.

That said, I dont think we would have a problem covering 6-7 miles easily.

Ideally, what I would like to find for our first time out together is a nice out n' back where we could park the truck at the trailhead, have a nice hike and find a spot to pitch the tent for the evening. Some nice scenery would be preferable as well.

Suggestions? Id like to make use of our tent, so Im looking for a tent site specifically. We are looking at late October/early November for a timeframe as well.
