Here’s the plan for your night.
We’re still building. This is the plan, not a promise.
Sunset at the rim.
Then about 20 minutes home.
Eyes up.
Give them 30 minutes to adjust. (NPS tip)
Look up.
The sky is the show.
Sleep under the dome.
Wake up near the canyon.
Following the dark.
One location in the works. More dark-sky places to come.
