...for this year, within the United States. Any suggestions on where to go? He's already done the Grand Canyon, so we probably won't go there. We'd probably only go for four to five days.

The appalachian trail is good, although I can't say I've got much experience with it. Just a short day hike in Shenandoah National Park once. But it's probably the most famous hiking trail in the United States. You would want to choose a portion of the trail that has good weather at the time of year you will be hiking. If you are here in mid-summer, parts of the Pacific Crest Trail on the West Coast would be good.

Hike in western North Carolina near Mt. Mitchell 6,684', highest point east of the Mississippi river. Mount Mitchell State Park, Yancey County, northwest North Carolina, 35 miles northeast of Asheville Latitude 35 degrees 46 minutes North, Longitude 82 degrees, 16 minutes West.
If you can get into it overnight by permit go into the Lynnville Gorge a bit south of Mt. Mitchell on the Blue Ridge Parkway if you can get an overnight permit. You have to call way in advance of your dates. If you can't get one go in for the day. You can't see it all that way but it is another world in there.
Also, the Shinning Rocks wilderness area. Approx. milepost 409 Blue ridge Parkway.
For the hardy hiker in the same general area hike to the top of Cold Mountain. The last mile to the top is very steep so be prepared. Also, on top there is no flat place to camp unless you tie yourself to a tree. The view is unbelievable.

Visit Oregon. You can hit a different hike every day.
Start at the coast, there's tons of campsites and trails. Go to the Columbia Gorge. There are gorgeous views of the river and mountains, maybe go on a winery tour. Go hiking on Mount Hood the tallest mountain in Oregon, or Three Sisters if you aren't in Tourist mode. Then Finish off at Crater Lake the deepest lake in the country.

I think most of the National Parks have hiking trails. If you plan to camp on the trail rather than take one day hikes, then the Appalachian trail is a real popular one in the east. There are no grizzly bears like you might encounter in Glacier.

How about the Appalachian Trail? I live in Georgia only a few miles from where it starts. There are many places along the trail where you could start and hike for a few days. I've done a bit, and it's great!

Hiking for 4-to 5 days your choice is limited,Best bet should be to go to Large National Park with mountains.where you can take short trips.
