Jul 22, 2021 — The route I took to get to Stratton Mountain used the Appalachian Trail, coming in from the southwest. A bit popular for my taste, the hike leads through forest and slowly gains elevation, nothing particularly steep for the hike's entirety. The trail was even pretty well-manicured and had minimal rockiness, unlike much of the Appalachian Trail in this area. Even the last bit to the summit where the slope became more steep was made easy due to ample switchbacks. The summit has a fire tower, which offers the only views along the hike.
