I need some answers to this as well, I'm from the city and need somewhere to explore relatively close by. NH and VT have tons to offer and from Syracuse it shouldn't be too long of a drive. Visit exploringnh.com for info on overlanding out there. They have a really good mapped out trail available for purchase, it is a bit expensive (100$) but if you use it wisely it's well worth the money. The route they have mapped out is good for 2-3 trips easily. You can also choose to do it all at once, up to you!
