Can Hawk Mountain Sanctuary offer a members-only day to avoid crowds and school trips?
Hawk Mountain Sanctuary relies on its eco-tourism revenue-that is, its visitors and their trail admission. Plus, the more people who visit Hawk Mountain, the more people who are exposed to birds of prey and might become interested in our mission of conservation, and for that reason, we typically do not offer a members-only day. There are a few ways to try and avoid crowds. If possible, plan your trip on a weekday when the sanctuary won’t have as many visitors. School groups typically leave the sanctuary by early afternoon so if you want to avoid them we recommend traveling to the lookouts either earlier in the morning before the groups arrive, or in the afternoon once they have left.
