Greetings from Burke, VT

November 2022

Stick Season

It's that time of year when we come inside for a bit to prepare for the holidays and wait for those first snowflakes. It's a great time to visit the area to simply enjoy the peace & quiet of the country or take a stroll through some crunchy leaves.

And, of course, it's time to start planning your winter visits to Burke!

Adventures Await...

Things to do

The trails may be closed for biking, but you can still get out on the bike via a gravel or road ride. Hiking is definitely doable as long as you are mindful that it is also hunting season in Vermont. Be sure to wear something bright orange and make sure your dog does the same.

November 6th - Ski Swap

November 11th - Warren Miller Film: Daymaker

November 12th - Sip n' Paint

November 13th - American Ballet Theatre Studio Company

November 19th & 20th - Wilderness First Aid and CPR Course
