People of Earth!
We come
in peace...
To Share Wonders of The Universe, UNDER ULTRA-DaRK Sky of Bryce Canyon.
The Dark Ranger® Mission is to improve scientific literacy, build enthusiasm for humanity becoming a spacefaring civilization, and heighten awareness to the evils of light pollution. To that end, we offer enthralling and authentic stargazing experiences. Research our tour options in the "Book a Tour" drop-down menu above. Whether you are booking for a PhD or a preschooler, these are the reasons you should stargaze with the Dark Rangers® :

  • Lots of BIG telescopes = more viewing & less queueing
  • Ultra-dark sky where  Milky Way extends to the horizons
  • Artful  and educational, LIVE space science  shows
  • Constellation tours  for cultural connections  to the sky
  • Large and Small Private Tours
  • Astrophotography lessons & practice (private tours only)
  • Telescope test-drives (private tours only)
  • Unparalleled enthusiasm for sharing astronomy
  • AND  much, much, MORE.
Use the drop-down menus in the banner images at the top of every page to learn more and make your booking(s). 

BTW... drop-down menus are retro web design from when websites were functional tools with actionable content written in complete sentences. Modern websites are scattered with misleading images and throw-away adjectives. That design forces you to call (like a boomer) to get basic details, thus exposing you to up-selling tactics of a fast-talking "real person" who feigns impatience to trick you into making hasty decisions.

However, if you are a reader, everything is here. So take your time. And pay attention to the headings! Instead of being the typical untrustworthy sensationalism one should ignore, our garish colored headings can help even the most lazy skimmer get the essential information about stargazing with us.

NEXT "Special Event" Telescope Tours:

Observer Screening and Red-Framing the Full Moon
Sunday, May 11 Only!
8:45pm-10:00pm

What makes this night special is that we have the honor of hosting a screening of Observer the latest documentary from filmmaker Ian Cheney, of King Corn and The City Dark documentary fame. Stay after the credits and your observations will become part of the story.
This 1-night event starts with observing the full Moon rise through our BIG telescopes. Then we'll watch this 90-minute documentary while our Moon rises to a higher elevation for better viewing. Now equipped with your own red rectangle you can frame, observe, and describe your own observations, be they of your favorite constellation, one you make up, or live views of the lunar surface as displayed on the big screen thanks to a high-definition planetary camera attached to our best telescope.
