Event Details

Hawk Mountain Hike

Operated by: TerraMar Adventures

Event Leader: Katie

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary

Skill Level: It's a moderately difficult hike at 6 miles in length and will take 4-5 hours. However, the trail is quite rocky and does require significant rock-hopping and some hand over hand climbing in spots. This is not a beginner hike.

Price: $20 covers guides certified in wilderness first aid, snacks, water, and park entrance fee (which is a little higher on autumn weekends)

Description: Come join us on a hike through the beautiful Hawk Mountain Sanctuary! We'll start at the visitors center with a chance to learn more about the preserve and its origin. Then it's off on the River of Rocks trail, which takes us past what's literally a river of rocks! We'll ascend from there up the steepest part of the route to the Skyline trail. There will be hand over hand and rock hopping fun along this trail, and we'll pass several beautiful vistas. Any of them will be a perfect lunch spot, and we'll take a break once we've reached the North Lookout at the top, a perfect place for bird watching. Although you'll be focused on using your hands for balance on most of the hike, this vista is the perfect place to pull out binoculars!

Clothing and Equipment: Hiking boots or sturdy shoes are an absolute must for this trail. Don't come in sandals, or anything without good traction. You'll need it near the top. Bring sun block, rain gear, water bottle, and lunch.

Directions: Carpool info and meeting spot directions will be sent to all paid registrants a few days before the event.
