Star Party at Enchanted Rock

Join park staff for a tour through space. Multiple telescopes will be set up in Parking Lot 1 for viewing stars, star clusters, galaxies and more! Bring your own telescope, if you have one to share. As an International Dark Sky Park, Enchanted Rock boasts some of the darkest skies in this part of Texas, which means the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.

Meet: Park in Lot 2 (Summit Trail parking), and hike over the low water crossing to Parking Lot 1. 

Bring

• Your imagination
• Lawn chair (optional)
• Dress for the weather
• Flashlight (preferably with a red lens; mainly for walk back to vehicle/campsite)
• Binoculars
• Telescopes (arrive around 7:30 PM to set up while there's still light)

Please no white flashlights or cell phone use while at the Star Party (it can take 20-30 minutes for eyes to adjust from bright light to darkness). Red tinted lights are permitted. Program is weather dependent.
