Program Expectations: PARK WILL BE DARK. Program will consist of a constellation tour, telescope viewing, and presentation. Telescope will be provided for but feel free to bring your own if you do not want to wait in line or need some practice with yours! Binoculars are also recommended to get a closer look at these objects. Please do not bring white lights ONLY RED LIGHTS ARE ALLOWED. *Some wildlife becomes more active at night. While this is great for experience, safety precautions are at a high. Snakes, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, biting insects, tripping, and many other hazards may present themselves during the program. Please stay with the ranger at all times if you are not familiar with these hazards.*
