Greenfield includes the scenic Mohawk Trail which is a historic trail that was used previously by Red Indians to pass through the valley. It stretches for more than 63 miles from the borders of New York to the Millers Falls. It is one of the best places to drive on during the day and during the night. The trail passed through miles and miles of farmlands, maple sugar houses and apple orchards. The foil display during the months of autumn and spring brings sores of tourists and movie directors to this beautiful place. It is also a popular tourist trekking destination and is crowded in the fall.
The Mohawk trail begins from the Franklin County at the pioneer Valleys northern section. The traffic here is unbelievable throughout the year with bumper to bumper traffic.
