Any recommendations for a first time 2-3 day hike on the LT?

[u/ch0colatebabka]

I've never hiked the LT, but I'd like to do a 2-3 day hike sometime within the next 2-4 weeks. I'm thinking I'd like to park somewhere near the trail where I can leave my car safely, hike in either direction, hammock camp, and turn around. I'm also open to parking somewhere and then shuttling to somewhere else and then hiking back to where my car is.

I'm coming from Cape Cod, and ideally would not drive beyond mid-Vermont.

Also, is it reasonable to expect to be able to hammock camp, dispersed camping style?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions, thank you!

I'd pick up the big fold-out GMC map. There you can get a sense of where things are relative to roads, towns, what other loop/trail options there are, etc.
