The Lodge at Breckenridge Astronomy Tour

Event Description

Nestled atop the scenic heights of The Lodge at Breckenridge, our tour is designed for stargazers of all ages. As the sun dips below the horizon, our 2-hour journey into the cosmos begins. Led by a professional astronomer, with an array of large telescopes and a precise laser pointer, we'll navigate the celestial sea, unveiling the universe's marvels right before your eyes. From the intricate patterns of constellations to the dynamic dance of planets, and from the silent grace of satellites to the vibrant tapestries of nebulae and star clusters, every aspect of the cosmos is up for exploration. With a bit of luck, the fleeting beauty of shooting stars might grace our observations. Our meeting spot, conveniently located at The Lodge at Breckenridge, 112 Overlook Drive, offers breathtaking panoramic views and easy access without the need for hiking. As the evening unfolds, you might be treated to stunning sunsets and the chance to spot local wildlife. To enhance your experience, we equip you with red flashlights to preserve night vision, comfortable seating for relaxed viewing, bug spray for uninterrupted enjoyment, and bottled water upon request. We invite you to come with questions, an eager curiosity, and dressed in warm layers, as the mountain air cools after sunset. Please note, our stargazing tour is at the mercy of Mother Nature, and cloudy skies may lead to cancellations.
