You should/need to pick up the Adirondack Mountain Club Trail Guide to the High Peaks, and they'll have it at EMS. It describes all the trails, trailheads, and includes a map. Off the top of my head, one of the shorter routes starts at the Atmospheric Center off of Whiteface Memorial Highway, there's a slightly longer route, the Wilmington Trail, that starts at the bottom of the Highway, and I think there is a slightly longer route at Connery Pond. All are well-marked trailheads, and the guide book gives good descriptions of it.

But if you like to ski, the road to the summit in the winter is a great, easy ski.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
