Pleasant Valley Wilderness Sanctuary
This 1300-acre wildlife sanctuary has 7 miles of pleasant walking trails through forests of maples, oaks, beeches and birches. It’s not uncommon to see beaver here if you come at dawn or dusk. A nature center is open daily, and you can arrange canoe trips on the Housatonic from here. To reach the sanctuary, go north on US 7 or MA 7A. Three-quarters of a mile north of the intersection of US 7 and MA 7A, turn left onto W Dugway Rd and go 1.5 miles to the sanctuary.

Kripalu Center
Shadowbrook, the former summer home of Andrew Carnegie, overlooks Stockbridge Bowl and is now one of America’s finest yoga centers. Kripalu accommodates some 300 students, who come to study yoga, meditation and holistic therapies within peaceful surroundings. You can’t show up for a drop-in class – rather, book into a three-day ‘retreat and renewal’ program. Family programs are offered as well.
