About Us...

Dark Ranger Telescope Tours is a small family business that uses astronomy tourism to promote science literacy and heighten awareness of the importance of protecting natural darkness. Our Dark Ranger Observatory is located near the northwestern boundary of Bryce Canyon National Park. Here we help protect some the darkest sky still accessible by car in North America, while simultaneously entertaining our nightly guests with one of the largest collections of telescopes in the 4-corners region (Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado).

Our cell coverage is patchy or overwhelmed. "All circuits are busy"  because everybody and their dog is uploading beautiful pictures of Bryce Canyon. Sometimes we won't get a voicemail until the next day. By contrast, text messages get through quickly.

Besides, we prefer to handle bookings (see the "Book a Tour" drop menu in the banner image above?) online because:

- Giving out credit card #s over a cell phone isn't safe.

- You've had more practice typing in your email and credit card number correctly than we have. 

Please don't call just because you are too lazy to read the website.  Yes, it's a HUGE amount of information. Stargazing logistics are complicated. Yet some find our reading fun! That's our brand -- huge information, big fun. If you don't like our read, you probably won't like our fun.

But if you have a question that a good read of this website doesn't seem to answer, please call or text.
