“A quick trip up Magalloway while in the Pittsburg area. A pretty straightforward hike that doesn't change much. Super views from the fire tower as well as the top of the cliffs. Thought I heard someone else driving in Tower Rd. but I didn't see a soul.”

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.
