STargazing events

Gaze at the star-studded night sky in our reclusive dark sky canyon with a guided astronomer through a powerful telescope presentation.

A spectacle to experience only in Arizona, view the vastness of bright clouds in the Milky Way Galaxy, Saturn’s infamous rings and our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.  

Take it to the next level and immerse into a celestial experience by floating in natural hot springs surrounded by the surreal glow of the Sonoran Desert.
