Whitcomb Summit
the trail’s high point, with long Berkshire views
Whitcomb Summit is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Mohawk Trail because it gives the drive its texture: the trail’s high point, with long Berkshire views. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Mohawk Trail runs Williamstown → Greenfield, MA. New England’s oldest scenic auto road.
Nearby route stops
- The Hairpin Turn — a famously tight switchback with a Hoosac Valley overlook (Mohawk Trail)
- Shelburne Falls — home of the Bridge of Flowers and glacial potholes (Mohawk Trail)
Conditions, access, parking, fees, weather, and seasonal closures can change quickly on scenic routes. Check the managing agency or local visitor information before committing to a side stop.
