💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For the best experience at Bryce Canyon National Park's Astronomy Programs, plan your visit during the summer months (June to August) when the nights are warm and the skies are clear. Dress in layers, as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset; a warm jacket, blanket, and comfortable shoes are essential. Bring a flashlight with a red filter to preserve night vision, and don't forget your camera for capturing stunning astrophotography—look for the Milky Way from viewpoints like Sunset Point. Arrive early to secure a good spot and consider joining a ranger-led program for expert insights. Be mindful of local wildlife, and always stay on designated trails to ensure safety and protect the park's natural beauty. Respect fellow stargazers by keeping noise levels down and refraining from using bright lights.
