Description

Come join the Telescope Tours! Meet with Astronomy interns and rangers to gaze through varying telescopes upon planets, galaxies, and the stars under the night sky of Bryce Canyon National Park.

  • Visitor Center rear parking lot, 9:45 PM - 11:30 PM.
  • Visitors should park in the main VC lot with their vehicles facing south (toward the trees) to prevent blinding the telescope field with their lights.
  • Visitors are encouraged to bring their own red lights for visibility, but they can be provided a red-light filter (red cellophane) by the AstroStaff upon arrival.
  • Visitors will be greeted by a member of the AstroStaff, who will inform them of program safety and what they will be experiencing that night.

Wheelchair accessible. All ages welcome. 

 

Reservation or Registration: No
