STARGAZING
The dark skies of Utah will leave you amazed as you gaze into the seemingly infinity of stars and beyond. Let yourself be amazed on a stargazing tour near Capitol Reef at our dark sky base just 10 minutes from Torrey, Utah.
Marvel at distant galaxies, star clusters, the Milky Way, the Moon and follow planets on their journey. Wish upon the streak of an occasional meteor!
