Join a ranger as we tour the constellations of the night sky!

We'll share stories about some of the well-known constellations such as Ursa major and minor, Hercules, Virgo, Libra and more!

We ask that you do NOT bring any white light flashlights. Red lights only to allow our eyes to adjust to the dark.

Bring: Bug spray, a comfortable chair or blanket, hydration, red flashlight or headlight. Optional: binoculars
Where: Day Use picnic area (north Rec Hall parking lot). Look for the red lights.
Accessibility: Accessible parking available. The program will take place in a flat, grassy area. For questions on accessibility, email Ranger Sara.
