Perseids Meteor Shower Viewing
August 12 @ 6:45 pm - 8:30 pm
PROGRAM DETAILS
Drive to Chimney Rock National Monument’s upper-mesa parking lot to designated areas for optimum viewing of the annual Perseids meteor showers — a family-friendly way to experience nature’s night-time wonders in serenity and silence. Bring a chair, cushion, or blanket to sit or lie down outside your car. A coat is a good idea too, since the temperature can drop 20-30 degrees after sundown. Members of the local San Juan Stargazers astronomy club, as well as volunteers of Chimney Rock Interpretive Association, will be on hand to coordinate and enhance this event.
