Jacob's Ladder Scenic Byway is a pleasant alternative to the Massachusetts Turnpike, which it roughly parallels. It winds its way through five towns in the Berkshire Foothills, beginning in Lee, Massachusetts and continuing through Becket, Chester, Huntington and Russell. Also known as the "Jacob's Ladder Trail," the 35-mile stretch of U.S. Route 20 was designated as a scenic byway by the state of Massachusetts in 1992. The two RV Gypsies only drove a small portion of the byway.
