Getting here

EagleWatch sits on five private acres at the top of the mountain. Set the address in your maps app before you leave town — the last few miles climb, and signal can drop near the top.
Take the final stretch slowly, especially after dark or rain. Once you reach the property, follow the drive up and park near your building.
