Event Description:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is inviting all amateur astronomers to enjoy an evening of stargazing. The nighttime skies above the park, far from the glare of city lights, provides the perfect opportunity to learn how to find the North Star, identify constellations and recognize the differences between stars and planets.
Local astronomer, Jimmy Westlake, will guide everyone through the maze of celestial bodies and pass along his knowledge of the Milky Way. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own telescope; however a telescope will be available to those that do not have their own. Bring a lawn chair, warm clothes, snacks, water and insect repellent and a flashlight with a red filter. Unfiltered flashlights are discouraged.
