There are Two Areas in Massachusetts Where I Enjoy Viewing the Fall Foliage

While there are many areas throughout Massachusetts where you can experience the fall foliage there are two spots in particular that I like to soak in and view the mix of beautiful colors and that's on the Hairpin Turn on Route 2 in North Adams as well as the top of Mount Greylock in Adams.
