walk: Is there a map of this trail somewhere? Or even a name? I've been interested in doing some trails in that range for a while.

GlenT: There's a map called "Yokun Ridge" published by the Berkshire Natural Resources Council with cartography by Pat Dunlavey. Follow the "store" link on the BNRC page where you can see low resolution images of the map and where to purchase (one of the places is the Arcadian Shop in Lenox, MA whose parking lot serves as a trailhead for Kennedy Park which has a wonderful network of trails). From the "BNRC Properties" link, you can get to some simplified maps which include the trails from Olivia's Overlook. For a first outing from Olivia's, I'd suggest heading north on the Burbank trail which is a nice loop with some additional sidetrail loop options. To get to Olivia's Overlook parking area, find your way to the main entrance to Tanglewood and continue a short way on Rt. 183 to a right turn onto Richmond Road (aka Richmond-Lenox Rd.) which will take you up the ridge. The parking area is on the left just before the crest and is well marked.
