Enjoy the evening night sky lit up by the cascading flashes of meteors! The Perseids Meteor Shower is an annual event in the middle of August, producing nearly 100 meteors an hour. This year will be closer to a half moon, so with a quick eye, you may catch glimpses of a flash of light streaking across the sky. You’ll hear astronomy folklore, search for different constellations and discover nocturnal critters that call the canyon home. Bring your own blankets and chairs to enjoy the nighttime show.

This is viewing only, no night hike is available.
