Event

Advance registration required!

Join the Garden of The Gods and the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society as we celebrate the Winter Solstice with a hike through the park. The Winter Solstice is the night that is the longest of the year which is great for astronomy. While on this 1.5 hour hike through the park you’ll learn a little more about what a “Solstice” is and its significance to culture and our observations of the stars. After the hike, we’ll have telescopes set up for viewing of the Moon and the Winter skies.

NOTE: This event requires a $5 registration fee with advance registration at the Garden of The Gods web site. https://gardenofgods.com/things-to-do/things-1/adventure-programs
