Sky Falconry in Alpine runs hands-on raptor flight experiences from a facility on Anderson Truck Trail at the edge of Cleveland National Forest, where participants free-fly trained Harris hawks, Lanner falcons, peregrine falcons, barn owls, and great horned owls to the glove. The program teaches the 4,000-year-old art of falconry alongside raptor biology and wildlife conservation, sharing Alpine's animal-encounter corridor with Lions Tigers & Bears sanctuary on Martin Way. The signature Hawk Walk spans two hours of one-on-one time with a Harris hawk on trails that offer mountain-to-ocean panoramic views across San Diego County's East County backcountry. Private Raptor Experiences expand the encounter to include multiple species — rotating through owl handling, falcon flight demonstrations, and hawk interaction in a single session. The facility's mountain setting draws visitors who pair the experience with Alpine Blvd craft beverage stops at spots like Mike Hess Brewing Alpine on Tavern Road. Each raptor is trained using positive-reinforcement falconry techniques that maintain the bird's natural hunting instincts while building the trust required for free-flight demonstrations in open terrain without tethering.
