Adirondack State Park in upstate New York. It's my favorite because it's full of non-technical summit hikes that are challenging and doable to a weekend amateur hiker. There are many summits under eight miles round trip, and the longest are under twenty. The views from a bald summit above the tree line can't be beat.
