Mount Everett (2,602 ft) is one of Massachusetts’ highest peaks. While the Appalachian Trail crosses the summit, you can also reach it via several day-hike options. The shortest route starts from a seasonal dirt road near Guilder Pond, with a steep 0.5-mile trail to the top. For a longer, more scenic approach, the Race Brook Falls Trail climbs past waterfalls and joins the AT south of the summit. Other lesser-used access points include the Elbow Trail and Guilder Pond Trail, which allow for short loops. The rocky, open summit offers panoramic views of the Taconics and Berkshires—especially stunning at sunset or in fall.

Probably more impressive to ride/drive up through McCauley Road. You can also access it from Natural Bridge or Hudson Brook Lane Road on foot or on a bike (which is what we did). White marble natural bridges/quarries are apparently not very common in the North America. Worth the detour if you are in North Adams.

Bish Bash Falls State Park is home to the largest waterfall in Massachusetts. The falls drop 80-feet into a beautiful emerald blue pool.

Spruce Hill is a majestic peak nestled in Hoosac Ranch, standing proudly at 2,542 feet. With breathtaking views that captivate in every season, this scenic destination beckons adventure seekers.

The Hoosac Tunnel is a working 4.75-mile (7.64 km) active freight railroad tunnel in western Massachusetts. The East Portal of the tunnel can be found in the town of Florida. It is on the big bend of the Deerfield River and not far from the roadside, so it is easy to go and visit.

Tiny state park located close to Dalton. Just follow the hiking loop from the parking lot to get to the creek and the beautiful waterfall.

Bash Bish Falls, the highest waterfall in the state at around 200 feet, features several cascades, with the last one forming a twin falls. To get the best viewpoint, you may need to dismount and do a little hiking from this point.
