Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, atop the Blue Mountain between Eckville in Berks County and Drehersville in Schuylkill County, was one of the Pennsylvania locations featured in the Kevin Hart/Bryan Cranston movie, "The Upside."

The sanctuary famous worldwide as the first and longest standing refuge for birds of prey, with lookouts where thousands pilgrimage each fall to observe the passing raptor migration, appeared to be portrayed in the movie as a spot for paragliding.

In the closing minutes of the film, Cranston's character, Phillip Lacasse, a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic due to a prior paragliding accident, and his unlikely caregiver, Dell Scott, played by Hart, are shown marveling at the view from the South Lookout at Hawk Mountain, when paragliders appear in the sky in front of them.

The next scene cuts abruptly to Cranston and Hart at a paragliding launch, strapped into tandem gear and being taken for a soar by instructors.

The actors were filmed at Hawk Mountain's South Lookout, but there were no paragliders in the sky there at the time. The launch scene was filmed in a nearby field along Route 895, which runs north of the Blue Mountain.

Hawk Mountain offers no opportunities for hang gliding opportunities. The nearest paragliding launches are more than 20 miles to the east: BlueSky Paragliding near Palmerton and Pennsylvania Paragliding at Danielsville.

The South Lookout is ADA-accessible via the 900-foot Silhouette Trail, which has a grade of less than 8.3 percent, below the federal guidelines for national parks. Most areas are even less steep and overall, the trail averages an 8 percent grade. Bench seating with pull bars are located every 100 feet. ADA-compliant, trailside restrooms are located near the trailhead entrance.

The lookout includes a smooth, flat and natural viewing area with one bench with pull bar.

The northern Berks County countryside along Hawk Mountain Road from Albany to Eckville also is featured briefly, as Hart's character drives one Cranston's character's ultra-high-end sportscars towards Hawk Mountain. The rate of speed portrayed in the scene is probably 20-30 miles per hour faster than Hawk Mountain Road could accommodate.

Zipping by but recognizable, as Hart and Cranston speed past Berks County agriculture, is one of the many historic farms along Hawk Mountain Road.

A quick glimpse also can be caught of Full Circle Stables, a horse boarding farm and riding school along Hawk Mountain Road.

After the hand gliding sequence, Cranston and Hart are shown in a riverside inn/restaurant with a fantastic view of an old, steel suspension bridge.

Although it's not identified in the movie, the restaurant is the Black Bass Hotel in Lumberville. It sits along the Delaware River, just downriver from the Lumberville-Raven Rock pedestrian bridge.

The inn, originally known as the Lumberville Hotel, was built in the 1740s. The hotel's lore claims that the innkeeper, a Tory loyal to the British Crown, turned George Washington away while he was commander of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War.

The tavern burned to the ground in 1831 but was rebuilt and has since played host to celebrities like President Grover Cleveland, Liza Minelli, Ethel Merman, Marlon Brando, Carlos Santana, Christian Slater, Marc Blucas, Diane Sawyer and Martina Navratilova.

The original bridge between Lumberville, Pennsylvania, and Raven Rock, New Jersey, was built over the Delaware River from 1953-56.

It was rebuilt as a pedestrian-only bridge in the 1940s and stands today as one of two pedestrian bridges across the Delaware.
