We will be watching bald eagles nesting and flying above the beautiful Skagit River in Cascade Mountain Range. From the viewing areas along the river between Rockport and Newhalem we will be able to spot the bald eagles in their nests and see them in action hunting fish, birds, and animals. We will also learn about the bald eagles at the Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center in Rockport and we will see some beautiful waterfalls and pools in Newhalem and Diablo Lake in the North Cascade National Park. On the drive to and from Seattle we will see beautiful forests and mountains. We will visit the logging town of Arlington and drive through the Suak Suiattle Indian Tribe Reservation near the old town of Darrington.

Q&A

Q: What's the best time to go for the Bald Eagles Nesting Area Tour?

A: The best time to go is typically between late November and early February when the eagles are most active nesting and hunting. If you go around that time, you’ll likely see them flying and fishing along the Skagit River. Just make sure to dress warmly, as it can get pretty chilly during those months!

Q: Are there any age limits for kids on this tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but the tour is generally recommended for kids aged 8 and up. Younger kids might get restless, but it can be a great educational experience for older kids. Just keep in mind that the tour involves some walking and time spent in quiet observation.

Q: What should I wear for the Bald Eagles tour in winter?

A: Definitely dress in layers! You’ll want a good warm coat, gloves, and maybe a hat since it can get pretty cold along the river. Waterproof boots are also a good idea if you plan to walk around near the water. Comfort is key since you’ll be sitting and watching for a while.
