 Scenic Hiking near the Yankee Inn 

Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary

 Sean W.

Experiencing nature in the Berkshire’s is a main reason why so many people are attracted to the area, and when staying at the Yankee Inn, you won’t have to go very far to do so. Just about 10 minutes from the Yankee Inn is the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. With seven miles of trails, a Nature Center and plenty of opportunities to view wildlife, the sanctuary is something worth stopping by during your stay in the area. “When you walk along Yokun Brook, take note of the beaver “lodges” of tree branches and mud, where these nocturnal creatures spend their days. Salamander migrations are a major spring event along West Mountain Road.”
