Young Professionals and Hawks, so happy together :)

I just realized... after signing up, that it's going to rain that whole day.... Are you planning on still going through with the hike?

It's time to watch the hawks! The weather should be just right to bask in the glory of the fall surroundings! We will start off passing beaver pond on our hike to the top of one of the most famous hawk watching destinations in all of NJ. See you then!
