Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory Hike

Experience the excitement of fall bird migration from one of the region's premier raptor-viewing destinations! As thousands of birds of prey travel south along this major flyway, hike to the observatory for the chance to spot soaring eagles, hawks, and falcons overhead. Bring your binoculars for the best views or let us know, and we'll have a pair ready for you. After the hike, celebrate your adventure with lunch at the charming Swinging Bridge Restaurant in Paint Bank, VA. The program fee includes transportation and trip leadership.
