Description
Join rangers to experience the Summer Solstice sunrise alignment! This event is free, and is a ranger-guided tour. Arrive between 5:30am and 5:45am to join the tour; due to the offtrail location of this event, latecomers will not be able to access the site or join the tour.
What to expect: meet rangers in the picnic area between 5:30am and 5:45am for a short walk to the Great Kiva, and then a off-trail walk to the viewing area. Sunrise will occur around 6:00am. After the alignment, rangers will walk visitors back to the Visitor Center. A short ranger program will be available in the Visitor Center theater room, along with complimentary snacks provided by the Friends of Aztec Ruins.
