Mount Holyoke, Mountain summit in western Massachusetts, US.
Mount Holyoke reaches 935 feet in elevation and stands as the westernmost peak of the Metacomet Ridge in the Connecticut River Valley.
The mountain received its name from Elizur Holyoke, who explored this mountainous region while residing in Springfield during early Massachusetts settlement.
Students from Mount Holyoke College maintain a tradition since 1838 of hiking to the summit when Abbey Chapel bells signal Mountain Day.
The summit automobile road functions from April through November, while the Summit House operates on weekends and holidays between Memorial Day and Columbus Day.
The mountain features a preserved 1851 two-story hotel structure, which began as a simple guest cabin in 1821 and later incorporated a covered tramway system.
