The Berkshire Hills and Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts: An Explorer's Guide, 2nd Ed.
Christina Tree and William Davis
Seasoned travel writers Christina Tree and William Davis tell all you need to know about these naturally beautiful and culturally rich areas. They offer opinionated reviews of the best places to stay and to eat, from four-star restaurants to diners. They also describe Berkshire County's must-see performing arts festivals and the outstanding museums scattered throughout this surprisingly varied region. They lead you across the Mohawk Trail and along numerous other scenic drives to orchards and antiques shops, wineries and waterfalls, nature preserves and ridge paths, artists, craftspeople and family attractions.
Christina Tree first wrote about The Five College Area as an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke College and has since described this region in numerous stories for the Boston Globe. She is the coauthor of Explorer's Guides to Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. William Davis, a feature writer for the Boston Globe, was the paper's travel editor for 20 years.
"Two canny Boston Globe authors . . . reveal so many of Massachusetts' secret delights."
New York Daily News
"Christina Tree uses her travels and experience to create a long-overdue guide to what makes western and central Massachusetts special. She uncovers the real charm of our towns and countryside in a way few travel writers have."
