I still haven't climbed mt tom but it is on my hit list. I do however have 5 of the 7 sisters already  The Seven Sisters Traverse is whats in the works next. HikerBob on ROT wants to set it up, maybe for April, I think.

Do you know if they were basalt formations? When I hiked over the "east of CT river" 5 of 7 sisters range practically the whole thing was Basalt (you can tell by the generally square cleavage of the rocks)
all my pics are here:

I'm no geologist, Marc, but I think it's all basalt.
My face only looks that way because Brian was singing at the time.
I'll plan another version of this hike for fall foliage and hawk migration season.

Hey Marc,
Yes Mount Tom has basalt formations. Habitat Info below(not much but something)
http://www.wgby.org/edu/source/holyoke/habitat.html
I have come across a handful of websites that verify it is Basalt
Be good
