Running
Getting up to the ridge up above Watauga Lake requires a good bit of uphill, but you're pretty much guaranteed some solitude, and you get some panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. This section of the Appalachian Trail passes through the Big Laurel Branch Wilderness, which is one of the lesser visited sections of the cross-country trail.
