Sights Overview
Occupying the entire far western end of the state, the Berkshires area is only an approximately 2 1/2-hour drive directly west from Boston or north from New York City, yet it lives up to the storybook image of rural New England, with wooded hills, narrow winding roads, and compact charming villages. And the scenic Mohawk Trail runs east to west across the northern section of the region.
Many cultural events take place in summer, among them the renowned Tanglewood classical music festival in Lenox. The foliage blazes brilliantly in fall, skiing is popular in winter, and spring is the time for maple sugaring.
