The Route 112 Scenic Byway runs 53 miles north-south through western Massachusetts, from US 20 in Huntington north to the Vermont line in Colrain. The state-designated route crosses rural Franklin and Hampshire counties, passing through Ashfield, Buckland, Shelburne, and Colrain in its northern reaches, threading historic town centers, working farms, and forested hills that turn brilliant color each fall. Dozens of working farms along the byway grow apples, berries, squash, pumpkins, Christmas trees, and maple syrup, giving the drive a genuine agricultural character rather than a manicured scenic-overlook circuit. In Shelburne Falls, the Bridge of Flowers — a former trolley bridge now covered in gardens — is one of the route's best-known stops, along with the William Cullen Bryant Homestead in Cummington. The byway also intersects two other named Massachusetts scenic drives, the Mohawk Trail and Jacob's Ladder Trail, making it easy to combine into a longer western Massachusetts road trip.
