Galehead Mountain is a mountain located in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The mountain is part of the Twin Range of the White Mountains. Galehead is flanked to the east by South Twin Mountain, and to the west by Mount Garfield.
The north face of Galehead drains into the North Branch of the Gale River, thence into the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut Rivers, and into Long Island Sound in Connecticut. The southeast face of Galehead drains into Twin Brook, thence into the Franconia Branch of the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River, through the Pemigewasset Wilderness, thence into the Pemigewasset and Merrimack Rivers, and into the Gulf of Maine in Massachusetts. The west face of Galehead also drains into the Franconia Branch.
The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, crosses the northern face of Galehead, 0.2 mi. (0.3 km) north — and 400 ft (120 m) below — the summit. The Appalachian Mountain Club's Galehead Hut is located on the col between Galehead and South Twin.
