In New England the fall is known as foliage season. Many tourists, and other visitors, travel to new England to see the beautiful fall landscapes, and to visit some of the historic towns and cities. This brief article gives some help and advice for those taking holidays in Massachusetts in the fall.
Massachusetts is a state where one can drive from the tree covered hills and mountains in the west, to the pristine beaches in the east, in under three hours. Motorists who wish to see the best of the fall foliage can plan a scenic drive route through the state.
There are quite a number of books published describing the best scenic routes for an autumn vacation in New England. One route, which has the honor of being New England's first official scenic route, is the Mohawk trail, which can be reached via Mount Greylock.
Via Mount Greylock and the Mohawk Trail, one can take a scenic drive through the Berkshires, and see views of five states from the top of Massachusetts' highest mountain. Note that the route up Mount Greylock is closed in winter after the first of November.
The section along Route 2 from the state border to the Connecticut River is New England's first official scenic route. The honor was designated in 1914 by the Massachusetts state government, at a time when motor touring was in its infancy. This route was first pioneered by Native American tribes, and now forms a scenic highway through some of Massachusetts' most spectacular scenery.
Although one can take the Mohawk Trail route without crossing over Mount Greylock, it can be worth making the eight mile ascent of the mountain to experience the views across five states. Climb the War Memorial Tower for the best view.
