Raptor Viewpoint
 

A small car park and easy access path lead to the Raptor Viewpoint. This gives fine views over Troutsdale for birdwatching. The site is located high high above a valley in an area that is regularly used by passing birds of prey. There are seats at the site. A 'log' of sightings is maintained in a box on the end of one of the seats.
