Dark Skies Star Party - August
Join us for a free fun night of dark sky education. We'll look at constellations, use telescopes, and talk about the ways in which dark--and light--affect our lives. You may arrive at any time between the listed hours.
There will be activities for children before it gets dark and telescope viewing will begin as the stars begin to come out.
The canyon is cold at night! Consider bringing one more layer than you think you need - especially for children.
Red flashlights are welcome as they protect our night vision. Creating one can be a fun family activity before you arrive!
This program is weather dependent and may be cancelled with short notice. Please follow the event or our page as that is where we will provide updates.
