I've always loved how the ecology of the high plateaus of the Berkshires is noticeably distinct from the lower elevations. You go from temperate broadleaf forests to conifers, shrubs and cold marshland, more similar in character to the Canadian territories than the rest of New England. If you turn north onto Route 8A in Windsor at 24:30 and head towards Savoy, it's even more noticeable.
