Shooting Stars: Astrophotography under the Natural Bridge

April 16 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$4 – $13
  • « Dark Sky Nights at Natural Bridge State Park
  • 250th Commemorative Conference: America’s Founding-Legacy and Influence »

What better way to celebrate International Dark Sky Week than “shooting stars” through the Natural Bridge?

Bring a full camera or cell phone and take a night-time photography workshop on Cedar Creek. Once you master the basics everyone will practice taking photos of the stars on either side of the Natural Bridge.

Pre-registration is required and space is limited. To register, call (540) 254-0795. Prepayment is taken at time of registration by credit card over the phone, and you will be emailed a receipt.

The program fee is $7 for adults (13+), $4 for children (12 and younger). Meet at the park visitor center for an introduction then a shuttle ride to Cedar Creek. Due to demand we cannot sell admission at the door.

Parks are for everyone – the trail is flat and accessible, but please let us know when registering if you have any concerns about attending.
