Stargazing
OFFERED IN SPRING, SUMMER & FALL*
Here in Yosemite, dark skies are a way of life—so if you’re serious about stargazing this is the tour for you. Far from light pollution, you will get to experience the night sky like never before! Up close to nature’s light show, your playground will be the Milky Way, with a telescope on hand for a close-up. You’ll be gazing through our 4.5” aperture digital Unistellar telescope that stacks long exposure photos in real time to deliver breathtaking views of galaxies, nebulae, and more! With high powered laser pointers, our Star Guides will be able to direct you around the night sky. You’ll have the chance to learn about constellations; observe planets, nebulas, star clusters, galaxies, and other celestial wonders. Pointing out the most popular constellations and the Northern Star, you’ll soon be joining the ranks of a Yosemite Star Guru. This tour is great for our guests with or without astronomical knowledge.
