Hiking Hawk Mountain with Hiker Dude Dad in Scenic Pennsylvania!

World famous Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is a 2600 acre wildlife preserve in Berks County Pennsylvania, dedicated to the study and conservation of Raptors, birds of prey. This globally significant preserve was first established in 1934. Prior to that time hunters on the mountain, would indiscriminately shoot at migrating birds often receiving government bounties for the number of birds killed. Thanks to ornithologist Richard Pough, and conservationist Rosalie Edge, Hawk Mountain today is the world's first refuge for birds of prey. In addition to the cultural, environmental, and historical significance of the site Hawk Mountain happens also to be a great place to hike! The sanctuary charges a ten dollar fee, but in exchange for that worthwhile cost, one can experience the rugged trails and amazing views this region of Pennsylvania has to offer. On this hike known as the Hawk Mountain outer loop - approximately 5.5 miles, I was honored to be joined by my favorite fellow Pennsylvania Youtuber Hiker Dude Dad! Together we explored this surprisingly rugged landscape, and traversed the sanctuary, encountering boulder fields, scenic vistas, and rock scrambles in what I now consider to be one of the absolute best circuit hikes in eastern Pennsylvania. So please come along for a journey featuring Nature, Adventure, Discovery, and Friendship, in Pennsylvania's world famous Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.    / hikerdudedad   MUSIC - West of the Soul by River Foxcroft Magical Forest by Sir Cubworth Blossoming Tree by Wanderer's Trove Quell Fear by John Bjork Cotton Dreams by Elm Lake Serene Solitude by Silver Maple CAMERA - Gopro Hero 8 4k @24fps SOFTWARE - Wondershare Filmora THUMBNAIL - Canva
