Thank you to the Burke Area Chamber of Commerce for the welcome, and for this view of Darling Hill from above. Proud to be a member. Come up for a night, a dinner or a round of disc golf, and tag us in what you shoot.

Welcome and Thank You to our newest Chamber Member, Wildflower Inn, Vermont. There's so much going on here! Of course, for visitors, it's a great place to stay with direct access to Kingdom Trails, but for locals, it's also a great place to get dinner or even play some disc golf! No matter which category you fit under, definitely check them out!

One bed. Three mountains.

New this season: Burke Mountain, Jay Peak and Smugglers' Notch are all on the Indy Pass. We're 8 minutes from Burke, with Jay Peak and Smuggs both an easy drive, so this winter you can ski all three without ever changing beds.

Our winter packages include breakfast every morning, and we'll arrange your lift tickets at the mountain's own price. Midweek, the Northeast Kingdom is at its quietest, and the lift lines here are measured in seconds.

Not a downhill day? Cross-country ski Kingdom Trails' groomed Nordic network, fat bike from our door, ride the VAST trail that runs right through our property, or watch the ice climbers at Lake Willoughby. The restaurant's open 365 days for breakfast, dinner and drinks.

P.S. Indy Pass holders, we'd love to be your Northeast Kingdom basecamp this season.

Yeti Gathering is headquartered right here this year. October 2-4, the trails behind us fill up with riders, and we could not be happier to host.

If you have never seen Kingdom Trails in fall, here is the secret locals keep to themselves: the crowds thin out, the dirt firms up, and the hillsides start turning gold, usually right around this same first weekend of October.

Come for the riding, stay for Edward (our best-selling b**r, poured right on the trail at Trailside) and a sunset dinner on the deck. Rooms with trail access, right from the door.

Riding with them? Tag us in your shots and we'll share them.

That was Relay For Life of the Northeast Kingdom on our hill yesterday. Thank you to every team, volunteer, survivor, and caregiver who walked from noon to eight. Hosting this one means more to us than any weekend on the calendar.

The fundraising does not stop when the laps do. Donations are still open, and the teams are still climbing toward their goal. If yesterday moved you, this is where it goes:

See you next September. Same hill.

The Harvest Festival of Ales and La**rs is this Saturday, September 19, up at Hill Farmstead in Greensboro Bend, and it is one of the biggest weekends the Kingdom gets. We are proud to be one of its three lodging partners again. Our packages went in July and the festival is sold out, so thank you, Kingdom.

Here is the part nobody plans. Come up Friday instead of Saturday and you get a Kingdom Trails ride out of the deal, straight from our door, in the best riding week of the year.

Then there is Sunday, which is the one everybody misses. The mistake is driving home Sunday morning. Saturday belongs to Hill Farmstead. Sunday belongs to the Kingdom: quiet trails, 27 holes of disc golf across the fields on Darling Hill, Heaven's Bench for the view down the valley, and then a table on the west-facing deck as the light goes long across the valley.

And here is the part locals already know. Edward, Hill Farmstead's Vermont pale ale, is here every day of the year, and it is our best seller by a wide margin. Lawson's Sip of Sunshine is always here too. The two b**rs people drive to Vermont hunting for, both on Darling Hill, all year, no line.

The leaves are just starting, too. Green and gold in the valley, real color on the high ground, Lake Willoughby 26 minutes up the road and Burke Mountain 8.

You do not have to be staying with us for any of it. The whole weekend plan is here: https://www.wildflowerinn.com/harvest-festival-of-ales-and-lagers-2026-guide

Thank you to our friends at Wildflower Inn, Vermont for once again being a Gold Leaf sponsor of the Burke Fall Festival. If you are making plans to check out the foliage this year, this is a great place to stay with stunning views and direct access to the trails.
