Mount Toby, Mountain summit in Sunderland, Massachusetts, United States.
Mount Toby rises 1,269 feet above the Connecticut River Valley, featuring sedimentary rock formations and numerous water features including Gunn Brook Falls.
The mountain received its name from Captain Elnathan Toby who made the first documented ascent, and later housed a summit hotel that burned within a year.
The mountain serves as an educational resource through the Mount Toby Demonstration Forest, managed by UMass-Amherst for research and learning purposes.
Several marked trails lead to the summit fire tower, offering views of Amherst, Holyoke Range, and Connecticut River across a six-mile moderate hiking route.
The mountain supports forty-two native fern species and rare orchids, including the Showy Lady Slipper and Ram's Head Lady Slipper varieties.
