Stargazing Evening
Friday, May 8 at 8:30pm
Join us for a special evening under the stars with author and astronomer Rock Ward. Following dinner, overnight guests are invited to gather for a complimentary stargazing experience in our beautifully dark mountain skies—an ideal setting for taking in the wonders of the night.
As twilight fades, we’ll begin by spotting Venus in the evening sky before turning our attention to the constellations and celestial highlights of May. Through a high-end telescope, guests will enjoy remarkable views of Jupiter’s moons, star clusters, nebulae, double stars, and distant galaxies. Along the way, our host will share insights, stories, and guidance to help bring the night sky to life.
The evening will also include a short reading from his book, Touched by the Infinite Mystery, a thoughtful collection of reflections on astronomy, nature, and decades of exploration in the surrounding region. Books will be available for those interested.
