Accounting for some of the main factors that make a trail tough--including the elevation gain and how rocky/rooty the trail is--which is tougher on average, the Vermont Long Trail or the MA/NH Wapack trail?
(The reason I ask is that I hiked the Wapack Trail out and back on Saturday in training for an upcoming through hike on the Long Trail, which I know very little of. It would be useful to know how the two trails compare to help estimate the daily mileage I might be able to make on the Long Traill.)
thanks.
