Solstice Stargazing with Erin Handgen
When the sun sets over the Peak to Peak, a whole other world switches on. Join Wild Bear Nature Center and local astronomy buff Erin Handgen for an evening under the mountain sky, where the stars are brighter than you’ve ever seen them.
Look through telescopes and get a close-up view of the night sky. Erin will guide you through our galaxy, pointing out stars, planets, and the wonders of our solar system, and answering all of your big questions about what’s up there. Whether you’re a curious first-timer or a lifelong sky-watcher, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for the universe above our little mountain town.
This is an all-ages event, so bring the whole family! Kids can also make an out-of-this-world craft to take home. And because mountain nights get chilly, we’ll have hot chocolate on hand to keep you warm while you explore the cosmos.
Dress warmly, bring a blanket or camp chair, and get ready to look up! 🌌🐻
$15 for adults, $5 for kids.
