Hi All, we are looking to do a 2 day/ 1 night 15-20 mile section of lower Vermont (or Upper MA to VT) Columbus Day wknd (Oct 10). We plan to park at end point and find transportation to the start. Can anyone recommend a good section hike that has a camp midway thru (hopefully where others will stay), and best way to get to the start? I realize this is not very far but it's our first time and we will have a small dog with us (maybe 2). Gotta start somewhere! We have our gear list, but for this short of a hike, do we need to buy a map? I've heard the AT is very well marked. Appreciate any advice for a good route! Thank you in advance!!
