To add to the list of state-specific complaints: there is no chance that the best hike in PA is in Delaware Water Gap. Maybe that should win the category of "best hike within 2 hours of NYC", but all the nicer parts of the state are further west.

"IMAX-sized views of New Jersey"? Pass.

I bet the most common choice would be the Falls Trail in Ricketts Glen, but I'd rather be on the Black Forest trail or somewhere on the Midstate.
