Though Hawk Mountain is a bit out of the way (it's over near Hamburg), it's worth checking out as one of Pennsylvania's fine preserved lands. It's great to go now in particular because now until April 24 is the peak of migration for raptors, though they will continue migrating through May 15. There will be interns on site to help spot all types of raptors (like the turkey vultures in these pictures). Plus, because it's the 75th anniversary for Hawk Mountain, they are running
a 75 cent Friday program that allows you access to the trails for just 75 cents, which is an awesome amount. We've got nice days coming up this weekend and I would suggest taking the journey up to Hawk Mountain to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding areas (even if you don't love birds, the views and trails are a lot of fun).
