Doing an overnight this weekend. Which would be a better hike- a straight 18 mile section from Bennington VT/Rt 9 down to MA 2 North Adams (requires staying in Seth Warner shelter) or a loop starting at VT 9 up to Glastonbury Mtn (camp at Goddard) and back down the West Ridge Trail -20 mi? I've checked the maps, but would appreciate some input based on experience. Difficulty level of either? Will either be desolate or crowded? Hard to get a tentsite? Thanks!
