Summer is approaching and I am trying to plan a trip. I would prefer the destination to be within around 8 hours of Ohio and something that could be completed in 3-5 days total(including drive time). I'm a rather experienced hiker and believe I am in good enough shape to handle most hikes. I'm looking for something challenging, thrilling, and off the beaten path. Also, some sort of final destination (waterfall, rock formation, etc.) would be nice. I don't own any climbing gear so it would be nice if that wasn't a requirement.

If links and pictures could be provided that would be great.

I greatly appreciate any feedback.
