Where Are The Hidden Hills?
The Hidden Hills are a geographical area roughly covering the Westfield River watershed. The region consists of 15 contiguous towns, from Williamsburg to Becket, Plainfield to Russell, Otis to Westhampton. The "Hidden" aspect of the Hidden Hills gets its reputation from the fact that there are NO interstate highway exits anywhere in the region. You can really only get to the Hidden Hills by taking the back roads.
