Parade of Raptors and Nature Hike at Alta

Join us up at Alta this summer for our Parade of Raptors & Hike events.  Every other Friday in July and August will will host a Parade of Raptors program, followed by a nature and ecology walk led by one of our conservation partners.  This is a free, family-friendly event suitable for all ages. Before we get started, grab some lunch or a snack at the Albion Grill.

Meet inside the Albion Grill at 1pm for HawkWatch International's Parade of Raptors program where participants will get to meet a variety of our raptor ambassadors--learn about these species and why they are now in captivity.  Following the program, join us outside for a nature hike to take in the breathtaking views of Little Cottonwood Canyon while you learn about some of the ecology of the canyon and surrounding area.
