Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Stargazing

Join Ranger Kevin for an evening of springtime stargazing!  

Clear skies permitting, we’ll be viewing a selection of objects through a portable telescope. Possibilities include planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters! We’ll also identify some major constellations with a laser pointer, and hear stories connected to them. Bring your sky-related questions! Family friendly program. Restrooms are available nearby, but please bring plenty of water. NO pets, please.

MEETING LOCATION: Spur Cross trailhead, which can be found past the entry station, near the Portapotties.

Please note: Entry to Spur Cross Conservation Area is $3 per person. Cash only is accepted. If entry station is closed, please place your money in the payment box at the gate.

Limit 20 participants. To register, please call the Cave Creek Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 8. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 3/19.
