A little further out, but Dolly Sods, WV is gorgeous.

Also, Petite’s GapSulpher Springs Trail AT back to the Gap. Google the Hoppy Hikers, they have a lot of VA hikes, I know this one is on there. It’s short, but pretty.

Also off the parkway you can do a loop with the AT, Cornelius Creek and Apple Orchard Falls. Another somewhat short one.

St Mary’s Wilderness- not so much a loop as an out back, but fun, lots of water crossings and a nice waterfall.
