The favorite is the Eastern Escarpment. About 18 or 24 miles depending upon your exit point. Involves climbing Windham High Peak, Acra Point, Blackhead Mtn, Arizona Mtn, Dutchers Notch, Stoppel Point, and North Mountain. Then you descend down to North-South Lake. At that point, you can exist. Or do another 6 miles along the southern portion of the Eastern Escarpment.

If you like to be challenged then the Devil's Path is always good. Again, about 18-24 miles.

Both need car spots or pay a taxi to bring you back to your car.

The Escarpment Trail would be my choice.
