Photographer Kristin Teig captured the following images following a favorite western Massachusetts foliage drive along the Connecticut River, from Northfield to South Hadley. We slowed down to admire twisting rivers banked by foliage, local festivals, and the stunning vistas that pull visitors to the area year after year.

Enjoyed reliving fall in western New England. Lived in Whately-taught in Montague Center-used day care in Turner’s Falls-drove through Sunderland most everyday. Enjoyed fall festivities each year in Old Deerfield. That was over 40 years ago but the vistas are just as beautiful. I have kept in touch with Western Mass. (and the rest of New England) for years through Yankee Magazine. It is a real treat when it arrives in the mail. I am a native of WV and live there now but I think I must have been a New Englander in a past life. I love New England Today.
It is a treat – thank you.

Enjoyed visiting your site today and seeing some of the beautiful views that I had experienced years ago when I lived in New England. I was born and brought up in the Boston area and lived in the Bershires for many years. Your beautiful site brings back many memories especially in the Fall.

Fun to see Bill and Dutchie Perron on tour with their Ghia investigating the countryside away from Walpole, NH. What a way to go!
