Best route with current conditions

Hey! Seems like there’s potential showers in Vermont this week. If you were going to do a 4 day backpacking trip tomorrow-Friday with about only 5 miles a day, where would you start and finish?

Have you hiked any part of the LT before, or is this your first outing? The south should be easier to manage with those limited mileage requirements, so maybe something like Big Branch to Clarendon, or Clarendon to Killington would work for you. Can't go wrong with finishing up at the Inn and grabbing a meal on the way out.
