Stargazing in East Zion.

My husband and I did the Stargazing Evening and it was fantastic! We were lucky to have a clear night so stars, satellites, planes and planets (with the telescope) were all visible. Our tour guides, Oliver and Bob were so knowledgeable and very happy to share information and answer questions. We learned so much. The incredible fact of the evening was Bob and Oliver are both self taught, neither, to our knowledge studied astronomy in school. But they could answer every question any one of us asked. They provided hot chocolate or hot cider as well as blankets and we had plenty of space to spread out. For me, mobility is an issue and Sam graciously drove me up to the star gazing sight (and we got to see a baby barn owl along the way!) and Oliver arranged for Bob to drive me as well as few others back down. Five stars in our opinion. We highly recommend this. You won't regret it.

Great night skies tour

Ollie was a great guide. Fascinating stories about the constellations and even helped us capture phone pictures of the moon through his telescope.

Don’t miss this!

Oliver was amazing as a guide. We had an incredibly clear evening and Oliver was great in not only showing us what the naked eye could see, he also showed some of us how to capture the memories - and went above and beyond, showing us Saturn through his telescope. And I finally learned what “moon rising in Scorpio means!”. I highly recommend this tour - be curious, you will learn a LOT!
