Hiking is a great way to see the world, get exercise, and reconnect with nature.
A day hike is the best way to go in my opinion. Only takes a day! 
What are the best trails near where you live?
Our trails aren't very exciting in my opinion. I would like to hike the Oregon trail though. Do you know much about that? It's pretty historical. 
I have never done more than a day hike out West. I have done 5-6 day section hikes on the Appalachian Trail, though. They were amazing.
Oh wow, I always wanted to go there too. The Appalachian National Scenic trail, it goes between Georgia and Maine. Long trek!
