10 northeast of America getaways

Since art and nature are so inextricably intertwined in the Berkshires, why not start at the highest point? Mount Greylockrises 3,491 feet, offering expansive river, valley and mountain views encompassing five states. The 70-mile network of trails throughout the 12,500-acre Mount Greylock reservation is ideal for hiking and biking. It鈥檚 an easy switch from mountain trek to art trail. Start at the nearby Clark Art Institute,which recently unveiled the landscape-sensitive Stone Hill Center (home of the Williamstown Art Conservation Center), designed by Tadao Ando. More in the mood for something new or edgy? Then, take a quick drive to North Adams and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, better known as Mass MoCA and Kolok Gallery (www.kolokgallery.com), which shows the work of emerging and international artists.
