Neptune and Back Planet Walk

Saturday, July 15 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free – $10

Join the Sugarloaf Ridge Planet walk through the cosmos (on a scale model) and discuss the vast distance between our neighboring planets.

This walk (moderate, elevation change appr. 900 feet.) is a unique opportunity to connect with the nature of planet Earth while discussing the incredible nature of the stars and beyond. Each step on the planet walk is scaled to represent 2.3 million miles so if you were to take a step every 5 seconds, you’d be traveling at the speed of light!
The hike will end at the observatory where you’ll have an opportunity to observe the most important celestial object in our solar system, the Sun!
