Desert Star Gazing
Nights are out of this world.
Our location in Pearce, AZ, lies in a plane between the Chiricahua Mountains in the east and the Dragoon mountains in the west with the horizon visible in all directions. Geographically speaking, the land here is known as high desert (elevation 4400 ft). With very low light pollution the night skies here are among the darkest in the state of Arizona. They provide spectacular views of planets, stars and deep sky objects for the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. We are also situated about 20 minutes from the Chiricahua Astronomy Center and the Chiricahua Sky Village (whose members use our facility for their RV’s).
