I did the same section earlier this month. Park at the south end (Rts 11&30) and shuttle north to Gifford. Try <

Things to see, places to stay:
Governor Clement Shelter, great campsites near the river
Clarendon Shelter--really nicely cared for, giant lawn out front.
Clarendon Gorge--giant suspension bridge
White Rocks, cool crowd-sourced sculptures in spruce/balsam forest
Baker Peak, nice views to south and west
Little Rock Pond Shelter--3 years old, with loons on the pond
Big Branch Shelter, not particularly nice, but the giant suspension bridge is pretty cool. Campsites just beyond the bridge, none at the shelter to speak of.
Whistle Stop Deli, sadly, is closed.
Bromley summit. Ski area stuff up there, but great views.
