Mount Greylock, Mountain summit in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, United States
Mount Greylock rises to 1,064 meters, forming the highest elevation point in Massachusetts with views extending 90 miles in clear weather conditions.
The mountain gained recognition in 1830 when Williams College students started improving access routes, leading to establishment of recreational facilities.
Nathaniel Hawthorne climbed Mount Greylock multiple times in 1838, while Herman Melville drew inspiration from its snow-covered profile for Moby-Dick.
The summit contains three major structures: Veterans War Memorial Tower, Bascom Lodge for accommodations, and Thunderbolt Ski Shelter for winter activities.
The 93-foot Veterans War Memorial Tower features eight observation windows and creates a night glow visible across the surrounding Massachusetts landscape.
