Roger,
Lots of really nice trails in the Payson/Pine/Strawberry area and further up on the Mogollon Rim and that's only 1-2 hours from the East Valley. If you are looking for something with a little bit of elevation gain (but nothing too taxing) check out Horton Creek or See Canyon, both decent hikes and about 6-8 miles RT. There are also a few nice hikes off the Pine TH. If you click on "regions" and then select Payson, you'll get a better idea of the trail length and elevation gain.

If you're looking for company then give a shout here on HAZ. Lots of fine folks here looking for a hike!
