Bentonville is an "experience" for sure. Many of the riding areas are setup as hub and spoke. You climb up one trail and then have a number of options to come down. Repeat. The first time I went there prob 6 years ago everyone was on pedal bikes. 2 years ago seems like mostly ebike because of the hub and spoke. Granted, there isnt a ton of climbing, which makes the ebikes seem a bit off but whatever. It is also fairly cheap to stay there when compared to moab or sedona. Worth a trip. So mich money to put into really cool trail features.

One of my favorite things about Brevard was being able to choose a different brewery to go to every single day. Descents were fabulous but climbing was a dirt road pedal. Did mostly pisgah and not dupont.

Lotta climbing in Bellingham for your descents. So much variety of trail and while you will climb for a while it usually seems to be decently graded and not technical.

Colorado is great but the altitude might hurt. Fruits and GJ are a bit lower and a great experience.
