Great Blue Hill Trail

It's takes a little work, but the view is worth it. There is an observation tower at the top of the trail, and if you go a little farther, you can tour the weather station for an even better view. It's usually busy, but not so much that you can't enjoy the outdoors. There are quite a few leashed dogs, too.

We hiked around the rim of the chasm. It was more manageable for small children and much less crowded. It's also a nice spot for a picnic lunch.

This is a great little trail really close to Boston. Perfect for a quick jump into the woods when the opportunity comes up. I went today with a friend and my dog and despite being my dog's first trail with real elevation gains, she handled it well. I didn't get to see the view from the stone tower, but the area at the base is perfect for a snack or lunch and the trails are well maintained and clean. I'll definitely be returning soon.

I have driven the Berkshires many times at many times of the year. Fall foliage here will give New Hampshire some competition, but it is always nice.

This is the first scenic drive I can remember from childhood. And over the years I still love it as much as my grandparents did when they shared this beautiful ride. There is history, art, culture, shopping, tourist stuff and most of all, beautiful scenery.

This is a great rail trail. We started in Lanesborough at the Berkshire Mall and rode to the Adams Visitor Center. The trail is flat and quite scenic. About a third of the distance is along the Cheshire Reservoir and the Berkshire mountains make a nice backdrop. This is well worth the two hour drive and we plan to do it again soon.

Savoy - Bog Pond Loop

North Pond Loop. Nice local hike. Trail in good condition. A little swampy in places; crosses over a few small streams. No real views, but a nice walk through the woods. Might be buggy in the summer. Can easily increase distance by tacking on Blackburnian Loop, South Pond Loop, or Tyler Swamp Loop

Great mix of accessible trail with options to shoot off into the woods. Bunch of great wildlife including cranes, snakes, turtles and tons of birds. Beautiful soundtrack the entire loop. Great for toddlers and their old parents.
