Join us for an enchanting evening under the stars with Doc Nancy. As the Sierra Nevada sky deepens into darkness, Doc Nancy expertly weaves together science and folklore, guiding you through the constellations with vivid stories passed down through generations of stargazers. Her green laser pointer traces the outlines of ancient star patterns overhead, bringing the night sky to life in ways you will never forget.
Meet us at the Scenic Overlook, just a few miles past the Visitor Center. Bring a chair or blanket, dress in layers, and please turn off your headlights as you enter the parking area to preserve everyone’s night vision.
