Description

Mt Everett View - Original Photography by Karol Livote

Mount Everett is located in Massachusetts close by the regional corner where Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York meet. It's a long drive to Mount Everett from Boston, southern Connecticut, or NYC but the ride is through some of the most picturesque in Connecticut or New York state depending upon which route you decide. About 27,000 feet smaller than its Asian cousin, Mount Everest, Mount Everett requires a good amount time and energy to hike up to its 2,624 foot summit. You'll feel a mountain much bigger than the one you're standing on. The wind blows hard, the trees' growth is stunted and rugged looking, with views second to none. If you hike in from Race Brook Falls off of Route 41 in Sheffield, Massachusetts, you'll hike by one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Berkshires. That would be a very tough hike for the average day hiker since the total elevation gain would be about 1,800 (trail head off Route 41 is about 800 above sea level). The old firetower is torn down so some think the views aren't work the effort via Race Brook Falls but it is peaceful at the summit and plenty of spots around the summit to piece together great views in all directions.
