Hawk Mountain 1999


 

In October 99 our troop visited Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Kempton, Pa.  We chose the trail least traveled. During our descent we found the trail getting very rocky, and dark due to the foliage. We explored what looked like a running water stream, however when we arrived at the bottom we found, literally, a River of Rocks as shown on the picture. When we stopped for lunch, we paused to get a photo of our posse.  Our trek up the Golden Eagle Trail was intense due to the steep incline. Reaching the North Wall was a relief after that long hard climb - from this vantage point it sure looked like God's Country. When we finished up our trail, we scaled the North Outlook only to find many people with cameras and binoculars watching for hawks. They were just as surprised to see us as we were to see them. This is the view from the North Outlook.
