Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary - Lenox, MA

We decided to stop at Pleasant Valley after our walk at Canoe Meadows. The sanctuary has seven miles of trails that wind through forest, meadows, and wetlands and the trails range from easy with some small slopes to steeper slopes. Be sure to take a trail map with you on your hike. Trails are well marked but .. a couple of the trails loop back on themselves so can be confusing and it can be hard to see where the path is in some of the older forest where there isn't a lot of understory growth to mark a trail and if its a darker day it can be difficult to see the next blue marker for the trail. We did see turkey and beavers on our hike and would have loved to have had more time to explore. but it was fully dark when we got back to the entrance area so we'll have to leave it for another visit.
