February Mini Star Party
Fri, February 28, 2025
Bring your telescope or binoculars and join us for a night of star viewing at Enchanted Rock!
As an International Dark Sky Park, Enchanted Rock boasts some of the darkest skies in this part of Texas, which means the stars at night ARE big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.
While your own telescope is not required, it is recommended! Astronomers, come prepared to share your knowledge with others.
Note- this is NOT a night hike. Star Parties are stationary events that happen best on flat ground!
Meet: Park in Lot 2 (Summit Trail parking), and hike over the low water crossing to Parking Lot 1. Let us know if you need any special accommodations!
Bring
- Your imagination
- Lawn chair (optional)
- Dress for the weather
- Flashlight (preferably with a red lens; mainly for walk back to vehicle/campsite)
- Binoculars
- Telescopes (arrive around 6-6:15 to set up while there's still light)
Please no white flashlights or cell phone use while at the Star Party (it can take 20-30 minutes for eyes to adjust from bright light to darkness). Red tinted lights are permitted.
