Stargazing at Spooner Summit

Description

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) has partnered with Tahoe Star Tours to bring an out-of-this-world experience for Rim Trail Members! Join us at the new Spooner Lake Visitor Center for docent-led stargazing to take a peek into the unique, unobstructed dark skies above Lake Tahoe.

Current TRTA members receive a 45% discount! Join or renew your membership below to take advantage of this TRTA member benefit. 

Led by amateur astronomer and poet Tony Berendsen, past president of the Northern Nevada Science Coalition, this night sky tour includes a lively science-based talk about the cosmos and a telescopic view of the constellations through high-powered, professional Celestron telescopes. The telescopes use leading-edge computerized technology for accurate pointing and tracking, with advanced optics for sharp, crisp views of distant celestial objects like galaxies and nebulae. Telescope operators will guide guests through the wonders of the cosmos, including viewing the planets, moon, and stars.

COVID-19 Policy

Do not attempt to join if you have experienced any COVID-19 symptoms as outlined by the Center for Disease Control within ten days of the trek: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, cough, congestion, muscle pain, sore throat, loss of taste, or smell.
