This is a beautiful route along the Housatonic River to Stockbridge and continuing with a 3-part climb (long but not too steep) up to Lenox for lunch. Make a loop around downtown Lenox to find food of your choice. The return swoops down past the Stockbridge Bowl - stop for a photo op - and continues down thru Stockbridge. After a short stretch on busy Rte. 7, bear left on bucolic Monument Valley Rd to Rte 23 for a downhill glide back into Great Barrington.
