Raptor fest continues at ski area The Bridger Raptor Festival, a celebration of largest known golden eagle migration in North America, will continue today at Bridger Bowl Ski Area in the Deer Park Chalet. Workshops will be from 9 a.m. to noon.
Admission is free.
The public is welcome and is invited to hike to the top of Bridger Ridge to view raptor migration. The approximately two-hour hike up a marked trail is physically challenging, with an elevation gain of 2,500 feet over about 2.5 miles. Hikers should be prepared for changing weather conditions. Golden eagles are the primary bird of prey migrating at the site during the fall, with more than 250 golden eagles counted on peak days. The Bridger Mountains are the site of the largest known concentration of migrating golden eagles in the lower 48 states.
