About this event

3 hours

City Lights & Celestial Sights: Join Joe Stodola, astronomer and member of the Grants Pass Astronomers, on a night hike to share the wonders of the night sky from the top of Lower Table Rock. The main attraction will be that the predicted dark skies and a napping moon may give us an opportunity to see the Milky Way, our own galaxy, the red planet Mars and a cream colored Saturn and maybe even some sporadic meteors. Bring flashlights, binoculars and a roll up pad to lie on if you have them; sturdy shoes, a warm jacket and long pants are recommended.
