Our Annual Spring Cathedral Gorge Star Party and Campout for 2013 is scheduled for May 10 and 11. We have reserved both Group Campsites. Everyone is responsible for their own park entry fees and camping fees, whichever campground you use.
The telescope field will be adjacent to the Group Campground restrooms, on the volleyball field. You're also welcome to set up in the first-come first-served campground, but spaces do go fast.
Observing is open to members and guests Friday and Saturday evenings. The public is normally invited to visit between sunset and 11pm. Please try to have your telescopes set up before dark especially in the main observing area.
See maps and this link for map details. Goto the Cathedral Gorge website for more information about this state park or click on the link to see the Cathedral Gorge Brochure. Camping sites are available on a first-come first-served basis.
