Dark Skies: Rare Phenomena in America’s National Parks

What happens in the Sierra after dark? Waterfalls appear to catch fire. The moon creates rainbows in the mist of rushing waterfalls. Once-in-a-lifetime comets and meteors streak through the sky. Join us for an evening with award-winning photographer Jeff Pfaller as he tells the story of his 5-year-journey exploring America’s Public Lands at night. You’ll hear about rare dark sky phenomena, making space in your life to witness miracles, and tips for experiencing these bucket-list items for yourself.
