Mount Everett, Mountain summit in Southern Berkshires, Massachusetts, USA.
Mount Everett rises 793 meters above sea level, standing as the highest peak in the southern Taconic Mountains of Massachusetts, dividing the Hudson and Housatonic watersheds.
Edward Hitchcock named Mount Everett in 1841 after Massachusetts governor Edward Everett, replacing previous names including Tacan Mountain and Bald Mountain noted by Henry Thoreau.
The Appalachian Trail crosses Mount Everett's summit, connecting hikers to a network of paths that showcase the natural heritage of the Berkshire region.
Visitors can access the mountain through Race Brook Trail or Elbow Trail, with designated camping areas along the paths and multiple parking locations at trailheads.
The summit features a rare dwarf forest ecosystem with pitch pine and oak trees, creating a distinct natural environment at the highest elevations.
