Come be an astronomer! Join the Rangers of Cedar Breaks under a sky of stars, planets, and nebulas. Experience a night of wonder and observe astronomical features through a telescope.
Each Dark Sky Tour will begin with a 30 minute ranger program indoors. This will be followed by a tour of the constellations and an interactive telescope experience.
What to Wear
Be prepared to be outdoors. Dress for incredibly cold nights, usually below freezing. Our Rangers recommend warm winter coats, pants, shoes, gloves, and hats.
What to Bring
Embrace the winter season! Feel free to bring along a blanket and some snacks to make the experience cozy.
Thinking about packing a flashlights? White light interferes with our view of the night sky. Should you bring a flashlight, please ensure it has a red-light function to be used exclusively. Also, please refrain from using flash photography and leaving vehicle headlights on for longer than necessary.
Tours are free of charge; however, as a federal fee area, all individuals over the age of 16 require an entrance pass to Cedar Breaks. Entrance passes are $10 per person. Interagency Annual or America the Beautiful passes waive the entry fee of all individuals traveling together in one vehicle.
