Friday
We got on the road at 7 am and arrived at our first stop, the Huntington Country Store in Huntington MA. This was a good time to stretch our legs and get Dave some coffee. It’s a great place, with lots of fresh baked goodies, as well as a very nice gift shop.

Our 6th stop was at Chapel Falls in Ashfield MA
We then headed to our Airbnb in North Adams MA. We stayed in a unit in the Flat Iron Building. I would definitely recommend this host, who has a couple different listings. It’s located right in town with lots of things to see and do.

Saturday
Our 1st stop was the Natural Bridge State Park in North Adams MA, which was closed, but we could still walk in, and see almost everything, EXCEPT the actual the Marble bridge. It was still really cool and worth it.

Sunday’s travel map
It was a short but jammed packed weekend. We walked a lot and saw some beautiful scenery and waterfalls. We had a great time exploring this area and only saw a very small part of this part of MA, with the time that we had. Unfortunately, Mount Greylock was closed. They are open from May to Oct. I spoke with a park ranger, who said that there was 3 feet of snow at the top of mountain. It looks like we need to go back at some point to see more.
There is so much beauty in this country, make sure get out and see it!
