Day 8 - Drive to the Berkshires, approx. 70 miles
Home to many picturesque villages and rolling hills, the Berkshires are renowned for autumn colours, but are beautiful regardless of the season.

Visit the Berkshire Botanical Gardens, a botanical collection, laid out as a series of garden rooms in a woodland setting. The collections emphasise plants that are indigenous to, or thrive in, the Berkshires. The Mahican – Mohawk Recreation Trail follows the corridor of the historic Native American path along the Deerfield River, and offers a fabulous opportunity to see Fall Foliage.
Stay three nights in the Berkshires.
