On the Saturday before Columbus Day in 2011, my family and I set out from central Connecticut at 10 a.m. for a day of autumn adventures in the Berkshires: the scenic mountain region in western Massachusetts. On this photo tour, I'll share inspiration and information to help you plan your own memorable Berkshires outing.

Our first destination--Lenox, Massachusetts--is just an hour east of Albany, two and a half hours west of Boston or three hours north of New York City, so plan your departure time accordingly so you'll arrive in Lenox before noontime.

Set your GPS for 10 Willow Creek Road, Lenox, MA, and when you arrive and park, you'll be greeted with this spectacular view of fall foliage reflecting in Woods Pond.
