Boulder: Guided Astronomy Tour

Boulder: Guided Astronomy Tour

Discover the wonders of the night sky just outside of Boulder with our all-ages tour! A professional astronomer will guide you through the cosmos with several large telescopes and a laser pointer. We will explore the wonders of our universe including planets, constellations, star navigation, satellites, nebula, clusters, galaxies, and even shooting stars (if lucky). You'll be able to take in the breathtaking beauty of these celestial objects through our telescopes with your own eyes. Accessible by car, Taxi, Lyft & Uber, the tour starts at sunset and lasts for 2 hours. The tour takes place at an easy-to-find trailhead, and there's no hiking required. You'll have the chance to see phenomenal sunsets and wildlife in the area. We provide our guests with a red flashlight, comfy camp seating, bug spray, and bottled water (upon request). We encourage our guests to bring questions, a sense of wonder, and warm clothing (as it can get cool after sunset). We can accommodate most requests for availability to fit your travel plans (the sooner the request, the better - we prefer to have at least 1 week's notice). Private group rates are flexible, so please contact us for details. Please keep in mind that the tour is subject to cancellation if the weather is too cloudy to see any stars.

Make the most of this exhilarating course that offers 8 lines in a row, with the longest line a quarter mile long.

From Denver: Snowshoeing in Rocky Mountains

From Denver: Snowshoeing in Rocky Mountains

Our hike will vary depending on the season, but we typically visit either an alpine lake or a historic ranch with structures dating back over 100 years. We’ll drive approximately an hour and a half past Nederland to reach the trailhead deep in the Rockies. The hike covers 4 to 4.5 miles. For a closer and easier option near Denver, we offer a 3.5-mile hike around a bison preserve. This trail not only provides stunning views but also gives you a chance to see bison up close if they're near the fence. Depending on trail conditions, we may use microspikes instead of snowshoes. Microspikes can be easier to manage over time and are provided at no extra cost. We also supply hiking poles and gaiters to keep snow out of your boots. We'll enjoy a sandwich, snacks, and chips on the trail before heading back downhill to the van for the return drive to Denver. Snowshoeing is a fun way to explore winter landscapes, and I know some of the best spots. With trails covered in snow and lacking markings, having a guide ensures you stay on track and enjoy a safe adventure. Hope to see you soon!
