Dark Sky Program: Prairie Creek
Embark on a dark sky viewing adventure among the majestic redwoods.
As the sun sets and the forest becomes cloaked in the tranquil embrace of night, the towering redwoods stand as silent sentinels, their silhouettes etched against the starry sky.
Guided by park rangers, you can learn about the constellations, planets, and celestial phenomena that grace the night.
Nights in the Redwood forest can be cold, so make sure to wear warm clothes.
