One of the more overlooked waterfalls in the Berkshires, Stevenโ€™s Glen is 129-acres of gorgeous forest featuring Lenox Mountain Brook winding its way through Lenox Mountain. 
A metal-staired viewing platform showcases the narrow, 40-foot gorge carved into the side of the mountain. The glen is named for Romanzo Stevens, a 19th century, local farmer, turned entrepreneur. In 1884, Romanzo, recognizing the beauty and character of his land, built bridges and walkways, constructed a covered dance pavilion, and charged 25 cents a head for admission. It has been reported that in 1919 a party of 900 people gathered here for a nighttime celebration! 
This is an impressive trail with great rewards for the entire family. The short length is perfect for small legs and equal attention spans. Truly a hidden gem, this is not a heavily trafficked spot. It is well marked and appropriate for many abilities.

Did you know that this sweet-smelling bloom is part of the asparagus family? 
And in WWI, a drug obtained from the plant was used to treat soldiers whoโ€™d been exposed to poison gas. 
*Keep in mind, it is poisonous to both pets and children when ingested.

Robert MacFarlane, "The Old Ways"
By nature, kids live in the space between questions, persistently posing the why, the what, the where, and the whom; indifferent to the source of answers as long as the well isn't running dry. But often, when we explore a new trail, there's so much unfamiliarity and those questions are drowned out by the newness of it all. Our brains are working overtime just to take it all in.
John Kabat-Zinn says, "When you pay attention to boredom, it gets unbelievably interesting." 
In the absence of the unfamiliar, we engage in a different way. That's why when we visit the same place again and again, it never seems to feel stale. Our dulled senses connect differently, and inquiry begins to fill the space where boredom begins. It turns out there's always something to discover โ€” it's lying just beyond the distractions of the "new."
