I've got the month of October off and haven't done the section between Kent and Hanover. I've lined up a ride to Kent and will be probably be arriving there Oct. 1 - 3. I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to do as much of the section as possible. One option is to hike north from Kent, but that has me entering VT in mid-October. Another option is to figure out how to get a ride from Kent to Hanover and then hike south. That gets me through the Greens by mid-October. Open to other alternatives as well. I don't mind a bit of snow and cold, but would prefer to avoid deep snow, ice, and cold rain as much as possible. Suggestions, advice, and information about the trail conditions and weather I can expect are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
