With numerous trails, including part of the Appalachian Trail, large tracts of wilderness, parks like Kent Falls and the Audubon Reserve, Berkshire Botanical Garden and Hebert Arboretum, the Berkshires are very popular with explorers of the great outdoors.
The Berkshires offer a vast array of nationally renown cultural attractions. Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
