unless you've already hiked the whole AT - including the VT section, (like 10K has) I would strongly suggest going NOBO - the trail sets up so well that way - the further you go, the better the scenery, and the harder the hiking - the hiking starting off isn't "easy" but it's a good warm-up. Going SOBO would have been anticlimactic to me (and I had already hiked the southern sections long ago on my thru).

Northbound just confuses me. One year I went up and back. Thats too cool.

We have done the southern section, NOBO08, and we have spent a good deal of time in The Whites this past season. Im not so much worried about the terrain. I do like the idea of spending one of those first nights on Glastonbury. We were up there after The Gathering and its just such a sweet spot. Nice way to close out an awesome hike or start one.

I've had my eye on this trail for several years. My trip I had planned for March isn't working out so I think I'll do a southbound in Sept.
Off to order my guide!

Yep, Glastenbury is a highlight of the LT for sure. I'm up there at least 3 times each summer
