What could be more relaxing than a train ride, camping, and star gazing with crisp clear skies int he Rocky Mountains! This is star gazing in style as our destination has hot and cold running water, restroom facilities with flushing water, pave stone paths, electricity, and WiFi access, picnic tables, a cabin...and did we mention access to the site only by train. Once we arrive to Fir Station, members and guests download their camping gear and telescopes to be transported to the camping location via a quad cargo ATV, that's right no hauling of equipment at elevation, let the ATV do the work for you.
Set up your tent and prepare your evening dinner meal while the sun set lower in the western sky. After the meal set up your telescope then enjoy the company of fellow amateur astronomers and star gazers. When the first star appear you'll understand why we like heading up to 9,200 ft to star gaze. Amazing clear skies with no light pollution to inhibit your view. See the stars like they were meant to be seen. For more details about this incredible experience visit the SCAS website and click on the Starlight Express button.
