See the moon up close! Join us for our Moon Party where we will use telescopes to view the moon in it's first quarter phase. The quarter moon is one of the best times for viewing - as craters and other features are more visible. This is a collaboratively led program with park rangers and local astronomers. Bring lawn chairs and blankets and dress appropriately. Bring along binoculars if you have them. We will be meeting at the park office and setting up nearby. Port-a-potties are available on site.
