The seasons are changing, and so is the sky! Saturn and Mars are low in the West, and this may be our last chance to see Saturn before it disappears into the sunset for the rest of the year. Fortunately, another planet is rising in the East to take its place: Uranus! Fall constellations, and the famous Andromeda Galaxy, are making their first appearances as well. Meet at the Visitor Center.

Please dress warmly, as evenings at the park’s high elevation can be cool even in the summer. Bring binoculars or a flashlight if you wish (red-filtered lights only please). Also, please note that viewing is weather-dependent, and takes place only if the sky is clear. Ranger-led talks take place rain or shine.
Admission for the program is the regular park entrance fee which is $3 per adult (16 years and older) children and federal pass holders are free. Please call (719) 748-3253 ext. 202 for more information.
