Traveling east to west, as the sun rises and sets, this 69-mile scenic byway recalls an historic Native American footpath and meanders through deep forest and historic towns, passing world-class art museums, early 20th-century tourist destinations, scenic hikes and dramatic vistas, all the while criss-crossing and paralleling five major rivers—the Millers, Connecticut, Green, Deerfield, and Hoosic.

Near North Adams, just above the hair pin turn, we recommend stopping at Wigwam Western Summit for a delicious treat and an amazing vista!
