MAKE A NIGHT OF IT!
When you decide you’re ready to appreciate nature in all of her beauty, be prepared:
1 Eat beforehand.
2 Bring water to stay hydrated.
3 Pack a blanket and/or folding chairs for extended viewing hours.
4 Having a telescope may be beneficial, but having an inexpensive pair of binoculars may be easier to carry.
5 Since some of the best spots for skygazing don’t have reliable cellular service, download a stargazing app on your device before you arrive.
