I've got the all-clear to take a couple days this summer for a fastpacking trip.
Aiming for:
25-35 miles per day
No more than 4-5 hour drive from Western Massachusetts
Some degree of solitude
Spectacular campsite
Minimal route finding / trail junctions (i.e., all or mostly on one trail)
Overall awesomeness
The obvious trip would be the Metacomet-Monadnock / New England Scenic Trail, since it runs within a 1/2 mile of my house, but I think I'm going to do the whole thing next summer, so I want to save it for then.
It'd be fun to through-hike an entire trail if it fits the above requirements. I was taking a look at the Cranberry Lake 50 in the Adirondacks. Could be really cool, although it's lacking in the mountain views.
Thanks in advance for any and all input!
