How Wildflower Inn’s Trails Connect to the Kingdom Mountain Biking Experience

If you're a mountain biking enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of singletrack, there’s no better basecamp than the Wildflower Inn in Vermont’s stunning Northeast Kingdom. Tucked atop Darling Hill Road, the Wildflower isn’t just a cozy place to rest your head—it’s your front-row seat to one of the best trail networks in the country: Kingdom Trails.

From Doorstep to Dirt: Ride-In, Ride-Out Access

Imagine waking up in your comfy suite, sipping your morning coffee while soaking in panoramic views of the rolling Green Mountains, and then—without ever getting in your car—you hop on your bike and roll straight onto the Kingdom Trails system. That’s the Wildflower Inn experience.

With direct trail access from our property, you can step out your door and start pedaling. Whether you're after buttery flow, technical climbs, or meandering family loops, the trailheads are just a few pedal strokes away.

No shuttles, no fuss—just pure riding.

Trails for Every Rider

Kingdom Trails has earned its reputation for good reason. With over 100 miles of maintained trails, there's something for everyone—from fast, flowy trails to beginner-friendly loops perfect for kids or first-timers.

And because you’re already on Darling Hill, you’re in the heart of the action. Many of the most beloved trails are clustered right around the Wildflower, giving you easy access to an unforgettable day of riding—without needing to drive or navigate parking lots.

More Than a Place to Stay

The Wildflower Inn isn't just a hub for riders—it’s part of the riding culture. Our guests often gather at the pub after a long ride to swap trail stories, share local brews, and plan their next day’s adventure. Our partners, including Rifugio Darling Hill, are right on-site with rentals, gear, and expert local knowledge.

Families love it here too. Not everyone in your crew has to ride—there are wide-open meadows, a kids' play area, and plenty of room to explore and relax while others hit the trails.

Events, Clinics, and Community

We’re proud to be part of a community that supports riders of all levels. From skills clinics and race weekends to group rides and casual meetups, there’s always something going on at the Wildflower and on the trails.

Planning a group ride, a couples’ getaway, or a family biking weekend? We’ve got you covered.

Book Your Ride-In, Ride-Out Adventure

There’s something magical about stepping out of your room, hopping on your bike, and being on world-class singletrack in minutes. No traffic. No stress. Just you, your bike, and the trail ahead.
