If you are from the Valley, chances are you have driven to or even hiked to the top of the Historic Mount Holyoke. It is a beautiful peak right off of route 47 in Hadley, and is the home to a picturesque Summit House built in 1821.
Also, Art History fans might recognize the view from Mount Holyoke's summit in Thomas Cole's "The Oxbow" (1836).
Here are some photos from our trip.

Above: I think this is the definition of majestic.
Above: Ohhhhhhh..... ahhhhhhh
Above: This is that earlier mentioned brutal drop.
Above: Chris was feeling particularly dangerous this day.
Above: There's even some great private picnic spots at the summit.

Above: Sweet! I'm glad Angie and Dave felt the need to proclaim their love in chalk on public property. That is about as cool as wearing an "I'm number 1" hat.
