America's Switzerland

"Welcome to America's Switzerland" is on a sign at the western summit of the Mohawk Trail road. The overlook gives a beautiful view, but Switzerland? I don't think so!

Maybe somewhere in the Alps there's an equally inspiring view that claims to be Switzerland's Massachusetts.
