About this tour

Let your Grand Canyon day end with a different kind of view. This private evening in the Desert View area pairs an astronomy educator dedicated to your group with large-aperture computerized telescopes, constellation storytelling and live deep-sky imaging. Settle into comfortable chairs with blankets, ask questions and linger at the telescope without needing any astronomy experience. Depending on the season, moonlight and conditions, explore planets, star clusters, nebulae or galaxies; specific objects are not guaranteed. Photos beneath the stars and a celestial keepsake are included. The experience lasts two hours and accommodates up to 10 guests. Meet near Desert View Watchtower by the East Entrance from Cameron, not Grand Canyon Village or the South Entrance. Park admission, transportation and Watchtower building entry are not included. Listed seasonal times are recommended starts; any preferred time or reasonable weather-related adjustment must be arranged and confirmed in advance.
