Program Expectations: PARK WILL BE DARK. Program will consist of an astronomy tour of stars, planets, and the Perseids. Telescope will be provided for deep space objects but bring your own if you do not want to wait in line. Binoculars are also recommended to get a closer look at these objects. Please do not bring SUPER BRIGHT white lights. This will negatively affect participants' experiences. *Some wildlife becomes more active at night. While this is great for experience, safety precautions are at a high.

Please stay with the ranger at all times if you are not familiar with these hazards.*
