To Share Wonders of The Universe UNDER THE ULTRA-Dark Sky of Bryce Canyon. Dark Ranger Telescope Tours provides a variety of astronomy experiences. The "BOOK A TOUR" drop-down menu above is a good place to start. Whether you are booking for a PhD or a preschooler, these are the reasons you should stargaze with the Dark Rangers®:
How do I best...Navigate and read this website? Answer: Best to do so when you have time to do it well. Booking one of our industry-leading stargazing experiences requires some focus.
Skim the drop-down menus in the banner image at the top of every page to learn more and make your booking(s).
BTW... if you have never heard the words "Microsoft" or "Amazon", drop-down menus are retro web design from when websites were well-organized, functional tools, with lots of actionable content, written in complete sentences. Modern websites are scattered with misleading images and throw-away adjectives, but nothing definitive in writing, allowing for plausible deniability later. They also try to force you to "Call now!" (like a Boomer) exposing you to up-selling tactics from a fast-talking "real person" who feigns impatience to trick you into making hasty decisions. And in the end, if you want to really know what you signed up for, you STILL have to read a confirmation email written by the most boring attorneys the least amount of money can buy.
However, if you are a reader, everything is here. Pay attention to the headings! Unlike everybody else's our headings aid you in your search because they actually pertain to the info that follows. Finally, our garish colored phrases are designed to help even the laziest skimmer get the essential information about stargazing with us. Distracting? Not as much as somebody handing you a cell phone before your brain fully developed. Bless your heart, that's wasn't your fault! Besides, we make reading fun. For example, you are going to love our post-booking questionnaire (and learn what you might have missed or misread)! What happens during your tours?Learning hands-on operation of our BIG telescopes, using our BIG telescopes, a LIVE astronomy show with FREE hot drinks, green laser constellation tour, more time with our BIG telescopes.

Our Location: Bryce Canyon, Utah
Only minutes from "civilization", but far, far, away from light pollution.
Geminid Meteor Shower: December 13, 9:00-Midnight This Night Only!
Our observatory is the best place to see meteors. Thanks to our ultra-dark sky we expect ~120 meteors/hr! These Geminids come from a rubble-pile asteroid rather than a comet. They are slow burners, some streaking across the entire sky before they finish vaporizing in our atmosphere. Brave the cold for this best meteor shower of the year and Winter Milky Way. Thru our research grade telescopes see all the outer planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.
Our lack of light pollution (follow link above to compare with the darkest place on Earth you have ever visited) is critical for seeing Milky Way in full glory and most meteors at the same time!
