Anywhere along the Colorado Trail. The best section we've done so far was from Molas Pass to Cascade Creek.

20 years ago(!) I took a great 6 hour ranger hike above Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite.

The Fiery Furnace hike in Arches is good, but relatively short.

I've been on lots of beautiful hikes, but it's hard to pick out the really incredible ones. So much of the rating depends on who my hiking partners were, etc. Often the hikes themselves weren't as outstanding as the viewpoints they led to.

So many hikes,so litle time!! Favorite would have to be the Coast Trail beginning in Tennessee Valley (Mill Valley, Marin, CA) to Muir Beach and into the Pt. Reyes National Seashore.
Another favorite from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area into Pt.Reyes would be the Palomarin Trail from Bolinas to Limantour Beach & Drakes Bay.
Have to agree with travellyn, the company can make the day!
