What you can expect

Tilt your head to take in the dazzling sights in the skies above Grand Teton National Park on a small-group stargazing tour. With experienced and knowledgeable educators to point out planets and distant galaxies, enjoy peering through powerful telescopes and using handy iPad star map apps.

Start your night with convenient pickup from your hotel wthin the Town of Jackson or at the Home Ranch Welcome Center parking lot and enjoy twilight as we drive out to your stargazing site, surrounded by the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons. When you arrive, grab a steaming mug of hot apple cider or cocoa and chat with your guides as they set up the large aperture telescopes.

Take turns peering through the eyepiece to take in up-close views of the moon's crater-laden surface, the surfaces of other planets, star clusters, galaxies, and more. With limited group sizes, you're sure to enjoy plenty of telescope time, and when you're not at the eyepiece you can grab an iPad loaded with an easy-to-use stargazing app ideal for beginner astronomers who want to scout out stars on their own. End your night with another hot cup of cider in the van while you guides pack everything up, and then ride back to Jackson to get dropped off back at your hotel or the Welcome Center.
