Guests are invited to explore the night sky by moving between various telescopes, each focused on different celestial objects throughout the evening. Our astronomers will highlight multiple points of interest, and due to the variety of scopes and eyepieces, even viewing the same object through different instruments will offer a unique perspective. We strongly encourage and welcome all questions. This is an all-ages event, and ladders will be provided to ensure smaller children can comfortably view through the telescopes. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Snowpine Lodge. Enjoy live music by Aspen Anonda you journey from one viewing station to another.
