'''Gallis Hill''' is a {{convert|794|ft|m|-tall|adj=mid}} mountain in the Catskill Mountains region of New York. It is located northwest of Kingston in Ulster County. Jockey Hill is located north-northeast, and Morgan Hill is located west of Gallis Hill. In 1927, the Conservation Department built a steel fire lookout tower on the mountain. In 1950, the tower was closed and disassembled then moved to Overlook Mountain, where it still remains today.
==History== In 1927, the Conservation Department built a {{convert|60|ft|m|-tall|adj=mid}} Aermotor LS40 steel tower. The first standard design for the observer cabins was made in 1922, which had to be {{convert|12x16|ft|m}} in size and roofed/sided with asphalt shingles. A cabin of this design was built on the mountain the same time as the tower. The summit was accessed via a short train ride from Kingston, which brought visitors near the tower. In 1950, the tower was closed and disassembled then moved {{convert|8|mile|km|spell=in}} north to a new site on Overlook Mountain, where it still remains today.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://nysffla.org/alphalist.html |title = Searchable list of NY Fire Towers |website = nysffla.org |publisher = The New York State Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association |access-date = December 7, 2021}}</ref>
