Mount Hitchcock stands at 1,002 feet and was named for Edward Hitchcock, a professor of geology at Amherst College in the 1800s. Mount Hitchcock is the most remote peak in the Holyoke Range because it is farthest from a road. To the west of the summit is Seven Sisters and Mount Holyoke and to the east is Bare Mountain, which is higher than Hitchcock by eight feet.
