Are there still Canadian hikers around? I'd like to spend some time hiking and exploring Banff this year. What time of year is my best bet to go during? Would I be best off doing multi-day trips or multiple day hikes and stay in a hotel? Also are there any required passes/reservations I'd have to make. Also I noticed there seems to be plenty of water around and am curious if there are any areas best accessed through kayak/canoe.

I'm looking for a day hike in the Appalachians (tennessee preferred) with a really great summit view. This'll be in November. We're fairly experienced hikers so we can tackle trails at a good pace. Any suggestions?

Max Patch, but you can drive up it most of the way.

The Smokies have nice stuff, but November means likely snow up at the 5-6k feet points.

Grayson Highlands are really pretty (in VA near Abingdon) and very open. Mt Rogers is there but no view at the top. Snow also may be a problem.

Snow as in trail is closed or just "hope you have snow gear"?

Just a bit of Google and everytrail is pointing me at Mount Leconte and Myrtle Point as a good choice for Tennessee. The Grayson's seem great but VA is pushing how far we can go for this and would require eliminating a city from our visit list.

Roan Highlands seems like it's about to leap to the top of the list for where to go. The views I'm seeing in some photos I've dug up are spectacular. Only one car is for sure going to be part of this hike, so it'll have to be a loop, but what I'm digging up on the trails we'd probably end up taking that wouldn't be undoable.
