Event

The Barcroft High Altitude Star Party is held at the University of California’s Barcroft High Altitude Research Station, located about 4 miles south of White Mountain peak, in the White Mountain Range which runs roughly 60 miles north-northwest to south-southeast on the east side of the Owens Valley in California. The remoteness of the location, plus an altitude of approx 12,450’ above sea level, affords visiting amateur astronomers truly world-class viewing conditions that are yet relatively affordable and easy to access.

Reservations to attend must be submitted no later than 2 weeks before the event, and a maximum of only 10-12 people can be there at any given time. Minors must have their parent(s) or guardian sign a liability waiver. The reservation rate this year is $60 per person per night which includes all meals and snacks, plus dorm-style sleeping in a darkened room (bring your own sleeping bag!) If you make a reservation but decide you can't attend, please do let us know at no later than 10 days before the first day.
