If you've ever been to the Berkshires region of Massachusetts, then you'll probably agree with my opinion that this area is truly a slice of paradise. The highland region is nestled in the state's cozy west, and runs all the way from the New Hampshire border and down into Connecticut. Lush forests and mountain vistas shape the landscape, which comes alive in all four seasons. In fall, the highland area is blanketed with amber-, ocher-, and rust-colored foliage, while winter snowfall turns this pocket of the Bay State into a winter wonderland.
Whether you're indulging in a romantic weekend getaway, sharing craft beers with friendsscenery and getting amid the action. If you're less into the cold and more of a sucker for summer (or even if you're just needing a rest from shredding), the Berkshires' quaint, artsy villages are a treasure trove to explore, full of independently owned boutiques, exciting food experiences, and famous museums. To celebrate the region's stunning natural beauty and the plethora of fun wintertime activities to indulge in, here are four of the best cold-weather must-dos in the Berkshires.
