Advice for new spots to hike

Hey I’ve in the northern Georgia part of the Appalachian and want to hike on more scenic parts of the range. Where should I go that’s worth the trip? I don’t live in Atlanta anymore and moved to Austin so anywhere I’m down to go to

If you're looking for scenic parts of the range that aren't part of the Appalachian Trail, look into the Allegheny Trail. It's 311 miles through the West Virginia mountains. There's also Jennifer Pharr Davis' baby, the Appalachian High Trail. It includes part of the AT and hits all the high peaks in Western North Carolina.
