ISO Hiking Recommendations

Hey hikers!

I’m moving from Scotland to the DC area and would appreciate some advice! I’ve spent years hiking in the Scottish Highlands and love it! I’m kind of struggling with the idea of leaving those mountains and I’m looking for a hike I can plan that I can look forward to in order to help with the transition! Would y’all be able to suggest some of your favorite difficult hikes with pretty views in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, or Pennsylvania? I’ve done Old Rag and, while that is very pretty and I enjoyed it, I’m looking for something a wee bit more challenging! I know the hiking will be quite different in my new home but I’m excited to explore the new landscape! Thanks so much in advance! Happy Hiking!

Edit: Thanks for the responses guys! I should have specified what I mean by difficult! I was thinking technically difficult—I love scrambling! That being said, I’d be up for a significant elevation gain as well!

(Above is a picture of one of my favorite days out!)
