​​What Can You Expect?
Half the park is after dark! 

The night sky in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks is one of the darkest in the State of California. Explore the Wonders of the Night Sky with us as we paint a map of the night sky using the constellations and transport ourselves off this planet into deep space as we look through telescopes and see the planetary wonders of space!

Meet at the Potwisha Campground overflow parking lot (aka Dump Station) for introductions and safety talk as we begin our Adventure through the night skies of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.
