The East Coast kind of sucks. Source: Living there my entire life.

Now, the mountains out here are a different story - totally beautiful. If you piece together a route along the Appalachians, including the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive, you'd probably have a blast.

However, it is insanely humid out here in late summer (though this past summer was mild) and you have to be ready to sweat and suffer...like, really suffer. The humidity will ruin you.
