Last year, the foliage in VT was peaking the first to second weekends in the mid-state (Camel's Hump) region.

Truly, my best recommendation would be 3-4 days on the Long Trail up there. Unfortunately, it's not the loop that you need. In fact, I'm not sure a loop is going to be available in VT.

In the ADK's you have a lot of loop options out of Heart Lake, or possibly Upper Works as well. I don't know the area that well.
