Climbing Jacob’s Ladder into the Berkshires
Next time you’re headed to the Berkshires, take the road less traveled for a journey into the early days of auto touring. Specifically, get off the Mass Pike at exit 3 in Westfield to drive 35 miles of Route 20 over the Berkshire Hills along the Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway. 

With its twists and turns, the Jacob’s Ladder Scenic Byway is fun to drive in a single nonstop swoop. But it’s even better if you take it slow to savor some of the villages, historic roadside rest stops, and state forest land.

Here's a breakdown of hiking trails where you can stretch your legs.
