The entire place is fantastic.

There's lots of climbing to do, but generally there's always a payoff in the form of an awesome descent. Usually one that is super flowy with bermed corners and probably some table tops too.

My favorite part of the trail system scenery-wise is all the stuff off of Darling Hill Rd, but there are plenty of nice vistas to be had elsewhere in the network too. If you get a clear day, riding up the hill to Heaven's Bench (accessed via the Wildflower Inn driveway) is a must do.

Favorite trails for me include Sidewinder, Ozias (a relatively new one), Farmjunk, NewT (ride towards the river; heading the other way, it's just a grinder of a climb). Black Bear and Stormin Norman up in the East Haven trails are fun and rowdy too.

Be sure to pick up a map, or download the map app to your phone, so you can find your way around.

Non riding stuff to do: Make sure you get to visit Mike's Tiki Bar for apres beverages (local beers & sodas...maple lemonade is awesome). I have never tried it, but Cafe Lotti seems to be the go-to place for coffee & such and is right in the heart of downtown East Burke. Hill Farmstead brewery is quasi-nearby Burke (I think it's like an hour away or so) if you're so inclined. If not, the market/gas station downtown has a great selection of VT beers.
