Western Summit Overlook

A 400-foot pedestrian footbridge spanning the Deerfield River in the village of Shelburne Falls, converted from a 1908 trolley bridge into a continuous flower garden open April through November. The bridge holds more than 500 varieties of plants and connects Shelburne Falls to Buckland across the river. The glacial potholes — the world's largest recorded collection, some up to 39 feet in diameter — are visible from a viewing area steps away at the base of Salmon Falls. A short walk from the Route 2 corridor.

A bronze statue of a helmsman erected in 1925 on Stacy Esplanade along Gloucester's working waterfront, honoring the 5,368 Gloucester fishermen lost at sea since the city's founding in 1623. The memorial sits on South Stacy Boulevard overlooking Gloucester Harbor, steps from active fish piers, seafood restaurants, and the route around Cape Ann (MA-127/127A). It is the starting/ending landmark for the classic 54-mile Cape Ann motorcycle loop.

The most famous single corner in Massachusetts motorcycling: a sharp hairpin on Route 2 (Mohawk Trail) at 1,700 feet elevation where the road drops 700 feet in roughly two miles. The pull-off beside the Golden Eagle Restaurant frames a 90-mile panorama of the Hoosac Valley, Mount Greylock, Mount Prospect, and slivers of Vermont. The Golden Eagle has operated continuously since 1914, making it the oldest roadside restaurant on the Mohawk Trail. The hairpin sits on the boundary of North Adams and Clarksburg.
