The Mohawk Trail, one of the nation’s first auto-touring roads, was originally a Native American trade and travel route. Beginning in Williamstown, wind through picturesque mountains and valleys, visiting North Adams, a small town with a burgeoning arts scene, and the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls. Hikers can explore the Mohawk Trail State Forest and see some of the the tallest trees in the state before ending the drive in Erving.
