Hawk Mountain, Mountain summit and bird sanctuary in Pennsylvania, United States.
Hawk Mountain rises to 1,521 feet in elevation and contains 2,600 acres of protected land with forests, fields, and wetlands for wildlife observation.
In 1934, conservationist Rosalie Edge purchased the property and established the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary to stop hunters from killing migrating raptors.
The sanctuary functions as an educational center where scientists conduct research on raptor migration patterns and share findings with international organizations.
Visitors need to purchase entrance tickets to access the mountain trails and observation points, with reduced rates available for sanctuary members.
The River of Rocks formation at Hawk Mountain originated during the Pleistocene epoch through periglacial processes and remains visible today.
