Take a look at some images from my Hawk Mountain trip - September 7, 2026.
I did not see many raptors, but the experience was breathtaking in more ways than one. Climbing up the rocky path for about one mile to the North Lookout was challenging for sure. I encourage anyone who loves hiking, birding, and photography to visit during raptor migration season.
Visit the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary website (link below) to see more. No regrets. :-)
