Gallis Hill

Gallis Hill is a 794-foot mountain in New York's Catskill region, northwest of Kingston, with nearby high ground including Jockey Hill and Morgan Hill. Its chief historical significance was a steel fire lookout tower erected by the Conservation Department in 1927. The site included a 60-foot Aermotor LS40 tower and an observer's cabin built to a standard 1922 design, measuring 12 by 16 feet and finished with asphalt shingles. Visitors could once get close to the summit by a short train ride from Kingston. The lookout served only briefly there, closing in 1950 before being dismantled and moved to Overlook Mountain, where it still stands.
