We Believe the Night Sky Should Be Experienced, Not Rushed.
Hi, I’m Evan, founder of Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures.
I came to Flagstaff in 2009 to study Forestry at Northern Arizona University, beginning a career that would keep me outdoors and eventually take me across some of the most remarkable landscapes in North America.
After several years working in conservation and field operations, I became a professional guide in 2017. While guiding in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, I had the opportunity to photograph a total solar eclipse—an experience that transformed an existing interest in astrophotography into something I wanted to share with others.
That idea eventually brought me back beneath the dark skies of Flagstaff.
Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures grew from a simple belief: seeing the night sky should feel personal.
You shouldn’t have to wait in a long line for a few seconds at a telescope before being moved along. Stargazing is better when there is time to look, ask questions, hear the stories behind the constellations, and simply stand beneath an incredible sky.
Today, our guides create fully private stargazing experiences throughout Northern Arizona, combining astronomy, storytelling, hospitality, and some truly remarkable views through our telescopes.
Whether it’s a couple seeing Saturn for the first time, a family discovering the Milky Way together, or hundreds of guests gathered beneath the stars at a private event, our goal remains the same:
Give people the time and space to genuinely connect with the night sky.

More Than Looking Through a Telescope
The telescope is only part of the experience.
A great night of stargazing is about
understanding what you're seeing, learning how to find your way through the sky, hearing the stories humanity has attached to the stars, asking questions, and having enough time to actually take it all in.
That’s why our experiences are intentionally private and unhurried. Your guide adapts the evening to your interests, your questions, and what the universe happens to be showing us that night.
No crowds. No telescope lines. No rushing you along.
Just your group, your guide, and the night sky.
Look up and Wonder.
There is something profoundly different about seeing the Milky Way stretch across a truly dark sky or realizing that the faint light reaching your eye through a telescope began its journey hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ago.
Those moments are why we do this.
Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures exists to make astronomy approachable, personal, and genuinely memorable—whether you join us beneath Northern Arizona's dark skies or invite us to bring the experience to you.
Come curious. Leave looking at the sky a little differently.
