Embark on a Wildlife Safari & Stargazing Adventure
Experience half the park after dark by stargazing in Jackson after your wildlife tour!
On your 4-hour wildlife tour, you’ll get to spot the wildlife residing in the park, while being educated on the geology and history that shaped the region. Once the wildlife tour is rounded out, you’ll be treated to dinner. Then, your Tour Guide will bring you to the stargazing location where your Stargazing Leader will already have the telescope set up. Using Wyoming Stargazing’s powerful telescopes, you’ll be treated to around two hours or more of stargazing under one the darkest night skies in the lower 48! You’ll have the opportunity to see planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and more.

Dark Sky Initiatives
Jackson Hole, the valley where the town of Jackson resides, is mostly protected, undeveloped public land. That means there is relatively little light pollution. Combine that with our high elevation and arid climate and have a great recipe for seeing thousands of stars on moonless nights, the arms of the Milky Way Galaxy and so much more.
Wyoming Stargazing is proud to have put in the time and effort to make Teton County the world’s first International Dark Sky Community. Wyoming Stargazing is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The proceeds from our stargazing programs are used to increase access to STEM education and to promote dark night sky conservation.
