The scenic beauty of the Berkshires is something that everyone should see once in their life. But what is it exactly? Geography says that it's a highland region sprawling across the western regions of both Connecticut and Massachusetts and extending into Vermont's Green Mountains. The short answer is that the Berkshires are a part of the Appalachian Mountains, bursting with rich cultural heritage and an atmosphere all its own. Music, art, and outdoor recreation are only a few of the attractions that bring tourism to the region.
