People of Earth!
We come in peace...
to share wonders of OUR Universe!
We offer the DELUXE stargazing experience featuring:
  • Lots of BIG telescopes = more viewing & less queueing
  • Expert telescope operators
  • Fun and funny laser constellation tours
  • A variety of hi-tech educational multimedia shows
  • Unparalleled enthusiasm for sharing astronomy
  • Model rocket workshops
  • Astrophotography lessons
  • AND  much, much, MORE.
Add us to your must-do list when traveling near Bryce Canyon National Park. Join us for  public telescope tours which are capped at 21 people (winter) or 42 people (summer).  Alternatively,  when you book a  large or small private telescope tour, you can customize that night to your specific group interests.
Yes, reservations are required.
That way we will know how many
telescopes to set up.

Gunning Down Covid-19 !

Yes, we are still OPEN, but only because of  aggressive Covid-19 safety measures.   Among the ranks of the Dark Rangers® we have more degrees and minors in biological sciences, than we do in our other fields of academic  study (e.g. astronomy, physics, geology, and engineering).   We are as certain about this pandemic  being   a serious threat  as we are that  Earth is NOT  flat.

HI-TECH DISINFECTION TECHNOLOGY
We are upgrading from Clorox  wipes to   Protexus's hydrostatic sprayers armed with sodium troclosene (NaDCC). Without being toxic to humans, this    is   a stronger anti-viral chemical, with longer potency,  than  even bleach (NaOCL).

FREE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Each  guest  will receive a pair of nitrile gloves, and a disposable face mask expertly crafted from  blue shop-towel. Until CDC guidelines change, you will be required to wear both (or your own verified equivalent protection), while at the Dark Ranger Observatory.

ANTI-VIRAL ENVIRONMENT
At 7777 ft. elevation, our clean, thin, desert air offers little UV protection.  The closest star (our Sun), will give you a sunburn before 9am!  That natural disinfectant bathes our outdoor facility  everyday.  After sunset, Protexus wielding Dark Rangers will finish the job,  rending  "enveloped viruses" like Novel Coronavirus non-infectious. 

We also have PLENTY of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. :-)
