Craving a getaway from the city and a bit of time among trees, I quickly realized the solution was closer to home than I’d expected. In July, Amtrak launched the Berkshire Flyer—a train that goes from Penn Station to Pittsfield, a small city and commercial hub, from Friday to Sunday—which has made a weekend trip to the Berkshires all the more accessible. It’s a scenic route that hits stops in the Hudson Valley (Bard College students included), eventually reaching Albany-Rensselaer, and finally Pittsfield. From there, a local bus will take you the 15-minute journey to the town of Lenox—which I found to be the ideal place for a weekend of respite.
