Stratham Hill
Stratham, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Heading up toward the Stratham Hill summit
Since I was in the area, I decided to check out this small peak with a fire tower. Though early in the day it was a clear sky, the clouds had moved in. Nonetheless, the views were still strong, with both the ocean and the White Mountains visible.
The hike itself is very easy - lots of parking, well maintained trail, and converted fire tower (to a public lookout tower). We didn't see any trail markings at first, nor a trail map (come to find out, it was on the other side of the board at the parking lot), but a crushed rock trail near the ball fields seemed to be the obvious way.
