Stargazing in a Dark Sky Preserve
Journey beyond Flagstaff for a private evening beneath the extraordinary dark skies of Wupatki National Monument.
Service Description
Escape the lights of town and step into the quiet desert beneath one of the darkest skies in North America for this fully private night sky and stargazing experience. This immersive stargazing experience takes place within the Flagstaff Area National Monuments, a protected landscape known for its pristine night skies and sweeping desert horizons. In this remarkable setting, thousands of stars become visible to the naked eye while the Milky Way stretches across the sky from horizon to horizon. After settling into comfortable chairs with blankets and warm drinks, your astronomy educator will introduce the night sky with a laser-guided tour of the constellations before inviting guests to explore the universe through a powerful motorized telescope. Depending on the season, we may observe: • Saturn's rings • Jupiter and its moons • Distant galaxies millions of light-years away • Ancient star clusters • Nebulae where new stars are born Whether you're an avid astronomy enthusiast or simply curious about the universe, this relaxed and welcoming experience offers an unforgettable opportunity to reconnect with the night sky beneath some of the darkest skies in the American Southwest. This experience takes place inside Wupatki National Monument — a protected archaeological landscape. After the monument closes to regular public visitation, experience this remarkable landscape through your privately guided evening with Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures. A vehicle monument pass is required for entry and can be purchased in advance at nps.gov. Passes are valid for seven days, so many guests visit the ancient pueblos, scenic trails, and cultural landmarks during the day before returning after dark for their private stargazing experience.
