Trip Overview

Watch the stars shimmer off the waters as we travel into the night and experience Lake Tahoe in complete silence. We’ll explore one of Lake Tahoe’s most pristine trails as we search for constellations and learn about the night sky.

The Lake Tahoe basin has very low amounts of light pollution giving way to an incredibly vibrant night sky. We’ll setup for the show high above Lake Tahoe’s waters and enjoy a hot beverage as we take in the sights.
