About
Mount Everett is the highest summit of the southern Taconic Mountains, rising about 2,000 feet above its eastern footings in Sheffield, Massachusetts. Its upper dome is noted for several expansive vistas and an unusual, stunted forest of pitch pine and oak. The Appalachian Trail traverses Mount Everett, which prior to the 20th century was called "Dome of the Taconics." Measured at 2,602 feet (793 meters) above sea level, Everett dominates much local scenery of the upper Housatonic Valley.
