1.5 miles from Hoyt southbound on the AT to wiley shelter and approx 8 miles from that shelter to Telephone Pioneers (albeit mainly up hill). There's a stream at TP Shelter so a reliable water source. The water pump at Wiley was not working but the spring does collect in a small pool so you can scoop up fresh water. This section has some meadow walking and really great views on the stretch <watch out for cow pies>
If you do it on a weekend you can even time the AT train station to get you back to Grand Central and save you a trip to head back to hoyt road.
