Milky Way (NPS)
Pecos, NM: Join us for an evening under the wonderful Western sky on Saturday, October 15th. Special guests from the Santa Fe Brass Quintet will kick off the evening with music to match the mood. Afterward, park staff and volunteers from the Santa Fe Stargazers will bring out telescopes and binoculars to gaze at the stars and check out deep-sky objects.
Visitors are also invited to bring their own telescopes and spotting scopes to explore the night skies. This event is weather-dependent and red-bulb flashlights and appropriate clothing are strongly recommended. Park entrance gate will open at 6:00 p.m. and will close at 7:30 p.m. Please note that after 7:30 no further entry will be permitted. Reservations are required; please contact 505-757-7241 for more information.
