This is a "must see" for all ages. Plan in advance for the night observation package. Dress warmly for the temp is cold high up the mountain. If you arrive early there is a box meal and then the fun begins. We got to watch a mountain sunset which is not what you would expect. The guides keep you moving and teach you about sky watching.

Absolutely amazing. The night tour is very neat. It's far from everything which is a pain when there's an accident on the only road in or out, but you couldn't see any of the stars we saw if it weren't so far from city lights.

For a long time I passed this place and wanted to see it close and look inside it. Twenty years later and I finally get to do so. I cannot wait!
