Mount Orient, Mountain summit in Pelham, Massachusetts
Mount Orient reaches an elevation of 955 feet above sea level, featuring a south-facing ledge with views of the Holyoke Range and Pioneer Valley.
The Mabel Loomis Todd Forest, established in 1960 through an 87-acre donation to Amherst College, preserves a substantial portion of Mount Orient's natural landscape.
Two major hiking paths, the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail and Robert Frost Trail, intersect at Mount Orient, drawing numerous outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year.
Hikers can access Mount Orient through the Amethyst Brook Conservation Area parking lot, located on Pelham Road in the eastern section of Amherst.
The mountain's geological structure consists of 400-million-year-old metamorphic rock formations that drain into Heatherstone Brook and Amethyst Brook.
