Conditions summary as of August 28, 2026
Mount Magalloway is in good late-summer shape overall, with dry-to-minor-mud trail conditions reported recently, but light rain in the past 24 hours means some sections may still be wet or muddy. Wind at the summit area is notably breezier than the trailhead, so bring a wind layer even though temperatures are mild.
Expect noticeably stronger winds at the summit (up to 33 mph with a wind chill near 39°F) compared to calmer, milder conditions at the trailhead—pack a windbreaker or light insulating layer to add once you gain elevation, even though this peak has no above-treeline exposure.
Best Hiking Window
Friday or Saturday morning shortly after sunrise (6:00 AM) through early afternoon, before drizzle chances increase Sunday

Trailblazer adds the full 7-day summit forecast, the best day to go for every peak, and conditions for each route up.
Trail: Bobcat Trail, bushwhack
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Took Bobcat Trail approximately 0.16 miles and then started bushwhack following well worn herd path through ferns, hobblebush, open pencil pines all the way to the summit. Initially walked past PVC canister but spotted it on the way back. Great views.”
Trail: Coot Trail, Overlook Spur, Bobcat Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant
“Trails were primarily dey with both being wet and muddy withing the first 10th or so from the trailhead. Coot doesn't mess around gaining the elevation quickly. I can't imagine taking a jeep up that all those years ago. Spectacular views from the fire tower and from the overlook. Some rumbles of thunder just as I was returning to my truck. Mostly cloudy with thunderstorms off in the distance. Temps in the 60s with light wind.”
Trail: Coot Trail, Outlook Spur, bushwhack
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Excellent hike of these these two peaks. Bushwhack was a straightforward whack to the summit through open woods,skidpaths,ferns,hobblebush. Entered the woods approx .3 miles from trailhead. Found canister contents dry and register nearly full. Left a new register.Great views from West Peak.”

Located in the remote far northern corner of New Hampshire near the Canadian border, this relatively modest summit sits within the Connecticut Lakes region of Pittsburg, one of the state's least-populated townships. Despite its modest elevation, Mount Magalloway offers a rewarding experience with a fire tower crowning its summit, providing panoramic views that stretch across a vast expanse of northern boreal forest, lakes, and wetlands that would otherwise be obscured by surrounding trees. The trail is straightforward and well-suited for hikers of most experience levels, making it an accessible objective in an otherwise wild and seldom-visited landscape. Its inclusion on the 52 With A View list reflects the exceptional vistas delivered by the fire tower. The drive to the trailhead alone, through logging roads and pristine wilderness, contributes to the sense of true northern adventure this peak uniquely provides.
