Slap me silly, am I seeing clearly?
*Rubs eyes*...somebody grew an arboretum on a bridge?
The queuing up of people to walk across this bridge was ridiculous.
I heard about this place and it was only like a 1 minute detour off the Mohawk Trail to North Adams. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Walk across the steel bridge adjacent for the best view but walk across The Bridge for an unique experience.
I'll let the photos do the talking.

I'm not usually wowed by nature and flowers, I have allergies and I'm just not a hippie like that. The Bridge of Flowers got me though. I hung out on it for like an hour, marveling at the gorgeous specimens, which were planted in such a way as to make the colors and forms of the plants look even more impressive. The day was grey when I went with a group of folks, but the flowers looked so vibrant I didn't even notice the skies were about to open up. It wasn't overrun with people when I went, so it was even more enjoyable, really serene and so beautiful it was overwhelming. I know, it sounds so hippie dippy, but I'm serious, it really made me marvel at the beauty in the world and the uniqueness of this all being on an old trolley bridge just amplified that. Plus, we saw a bald eagle right after we finished on the bridge. I don't know if that's supposed to mean something symbolically, but it was frickin cool. I wouldn't waste my 500th review on some silly garden, this landmark is absolutely amazing. Make a trip out west to see it.

Among the best sights to see along the Mohawk Trail. More than the utter stunning beauty of a former trolley bridge repurposed decades ago into a walkway flanked by flowers and trees, the Bridge of Flowers really shows how dedicated a town to its traditions can be.
This is so lovely. It just goes to show what a bit of vision ingenuity and community intention can accomplish!
If you do visit SF go see the glacial potholes nearby...standing on a rock ledge, which would be in the water, if it were higher is really cool too.

Hahahahaha! I nearly bust a gut when I saw that someone actually reviewed the Bridge of Flowers! Aww, my lil' hometown is *famous*!
What the hell is the Bridge of Flowers, you ask? It's a beautiful little foot bridge that used to be a trolley bridge. It's got these beautiful arches and is covered in flowers, so it's pretty to see both on the bridge itself as well as from the Iron Bridge (right next to it). Well worth a look if you happened to be in the middle of nowhere--I mean, if you're in western Mass... ;)

Very unique and just a relaxing place to visit and walk around when you are in Western MA on a nice day. Over 500 varieties of flowers border the bridge walkway!
