Hiking (Day Hikes)
Stargazing
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Spyrock
EDIT: NOW DEPARTING AT 6PM!!!!!!!!!
Starting off the beginning of spring break – aka Thursday evening – with a hike full of stargazing. Not only is spy rock a great hike with an incredible 360 degree view, but we are in store for some incredible stargazing with no light pollution. In addition to all of this awesomeness, I will also use all all of my astronomy knowledge to provide a tour of the constellations and stars in the sky! Pretty freakin sweet. I would also just love to talk about general astronomy as that is my jam.
We depart for Spy Rock at 6:00pm, drive the hour to get there, hike, stargaze, head back, love life cuz it’s spring break. Should be back by 11:00pm.
