Loop is a beginner-friendly doubletrack starting directly from our parking location at the Inn at Mountain View Farm. As an easier cross-country ride, there is minimal climbing or features on Loop. The trail takes you through the fields and forests of Darling Hill, granting riders beautiful views of the mountain scenery.

Access Info

Loop runs conveniently from the parking area at Mountain View Farm, loops north through a forested section from where one can access the green Cupcake trail and the more challenging Poundcake trail, after which it turns west and south to join up with the northern end of Bemis, from where it returns back to Mountain View Farm. From Loop you can also access the famous Coronary and Coronary Bypass, as well as Fence Line, Pastore Point and Bog Meadow.
