Peaks, Falls & Literary Trails

A south-to-north sweep of the Berkshires' best-known natural landmarks, from a border waterfall to the state's highest summit

This one gets you out of the streets and into the open. Five stops over 55.1 miles, about two hours of driving. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

It is one of four tours in Great Barrington, each taking a different line through the city. Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
