Middleton Mountain and McKergow Meadows

The Middleton Mountain trail network zig-zags its way up the mountain from the surrounding suburban environment rewarding the ambitious with panoramic views at the top of the steep climb. Birders may encounter Mountain Bluebird, Swainson’s Thrush and Western Meadowlarks, as well as swallows, hawks, eagles, vultures and quail. If you are looking for a less strenuous option, head to the McKergow Meadows section of this trail network which overlooks Mud Lake. Over 50 species of birds have been observed in this area, including the Red-Tailed Hawk and Northern Flicker.
