Mount Fitch, Mount Greylock State Reservation
Facts and practical information
Mount Fitch is the third-highest peak in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at 3,110 feet. It is located on the ridge between Mount Greylock at 3,491 feet to its south and Mount Williams at 2,956 feet to its north. The peak sits in the northwest corner of the Town of Adams in Berkshire County. The forested summit is approximately 123 yards due west of a local high-point on the Appalachian Trail. Mount Fitch does not meet the Appalachian Mountain Club's prominence criterion of 200 vertical feet of separation from adjacent peaks as outlined in New England's Four-thousand footers list. Currently there is no side-spur trail or signage directing a hiker to the summit of Mt. Fitch from the Appalachian Trail; however, there is a wooden placard at the summit itself. The top is infrequently visited by hikers due to its anonymity, the bushwhack necessary to reach the top and the viewless summit. ()
