The Rancherias Trail is a great suggestion. One other suggestion would be the the Dodson Trail or Outer Mountain Loop Trail (as some call it) in Big Bend National Park. It is a 30 mile hike that takes 3-4 days. Visit www.bigbendchat.com if you have any questions or want details on that hike (plus others in BIBE).
