Mount Wachusett straddles the towns of Princeton and Westminster in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and is the highest point in the state east of the Connecticut River. Its name derives from a Native American term meaning near the mountain or mountain place. An automobile road open from spring to fall climbs to the summit, and the mountain is a popular destination for hiking and skiing, crossed by the 92 mile Midstate Trail and home to the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation; on a clear day its summit offers views that take in Mount Monadnock to the north, Mount Greylock to the west, southern Vermont to the northwest and Boston to the east.
