People are bent out of shape because you are using the technical scientific definition that no one who lives here uses. While Greylock is a part of the Taconic range, everyone who lives here just refers to the area as The Berkshires. If a person asked me where I live, I would say "The Berkshires," not "in the valley between the Taconic range and the Berkshire Hills."

Culturally, the term "Berkshires" includes all of the highland region in western Massachusetts west of the Connecticut River and lower Westfield River. The cultural region also includes the Taconic Mountains bordering New York, which are geologically distinct from the Berkshires orogeny. Southwest Vermont and the Taconic region of New York are occasionally grouped with the Berkshires cultural region.

Yes, I think you can drive by yourself when you are depressed and drive on this road to make yourself feel better, or you can ask your friends who have the same hobby to drive on this road to see the scenery together when you are on vacation. It will be great.
