Mount Tom, Mountain summit in Massachusetts, United States
Mount Tom rises 1,202 feet above the Connecticut River Valley, featuring steep cliffs and talus slopes visible from Holyoke and Easthampton cities.
The mountain received its name from Rowland Thomas, a surveyor who worked in the Springfield area during the 1660s mapping the regional territory.
The mountain appears on both Easthampton's and Holyoke's city seals, representing the natural landmark's importance to these Massachusetts communities.
The 110-mile Metacomet-Monadnock Trail crosses the summit, providing access points for hikers, runners, and nature photographers throughout the year.
The mountain's geological structure consists of basalt formations from the Triassic Period, creating distinct microclimates that support rare plant species.
