I'm starting to get some ideas together for a Fall trip. I've gone out West the last 3 years (and honestly could head out West every year for the rest of my life and still not see and do everything I want!). But I'd like to show the Eastern US some love. Isle Royale NP looks cool, as does Acadia NP. The thing with Acadia is that it seems to be a series of very short interconnected trails. I'd ideally like to be out for around a week or more, and avoid the AT as I'm trying to save the Northern portion of the AT for my section hike. Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions?

Also, I have been looking into winter cross-country ski/snowshoe trips. Seem to be a big thing in places like Colorado, where they have hut systems devoted to this. Is there anything like this in NE? I fell in love with Winter camping last year and want to do more of it.

Thanks guys!
