The Berkshires has no shortage of beautiful hikes. If you’re looking for a good view and up for a bit of a climb, here are a few with spectacular views.
Spruce Hill – North Adams
A roughly 6-mile round trip hike to Spruce Hill offers views of Mount Greylock, Adams and North Adams. You can access the trail and parking from Route 2, about a mile from the Hairpin Turn driving eastbound (just after the Wigwam and Western Summit cabins). The Hoosac Tunnel runs through the mountain range.
