FULL _Astronomy Hike at Glenrose

Registration Required. We will need to be able to notify you of any changes or cancelations due to cloud cover. 


 

Join DHC and Paul Yost of the Spokane Astronomical Society for a fun and educational Astronomy Hike at Glenrose on Saturday, November 9th, 4:00 pm. We will meet at Glenrose Trailhead (3700 S Thierman Rd) at 4:00 pm and hike about 1/2 mile out to a field where we can observe the stars, moon, and comet. We will discuss current astronomical phenomena and talk about constellations, space, and any other astronomy related questions. After about an hour we will hike back to the trailhead. If you need to leave earlier that is ok. Please bring a headlamp or a flashlight for the hike back to the parking lot. We will be walking to the field without lights so we preserve our eyesight for the star gazing. Please pre-register.

Dress for the weather and colder temperatures after dark.  Good footwear is recommended. We will have one spotting scope and some pairs of binoculars to share. Brining your own is welcomed. 

Please bring a headlamp or a flashlight for the hike back to the parking lot. 

This hike is easy for most.  Distance is about 1 mile, out and back and gains elevation of only 120 ft. Duration is 60-90 minutes and leaving earlier is ok. 

Registration Required. We will need to be able to notify you of any changes or cancelations due to cloud cover. 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, Nov. 9th
