Look west, young and old viewers. Tonight, Chronicle delivers a crash course in the Pioneer Valley, from a place to see dinosaur tracks, to a spot where one person can see four states.

We'll find family attractions for the sports lover and the Doctor Seuss lover, get out on the Connecticut River, and discover an unexpected treat in Northampton.
