| Astronomical Observing:
It?s best to arrive before sundown as vehicle headlights after sunset disrupt astronomers? night vision. Clouds or rain will cancel astronomy programs. Call the park for weather and program updates before you go.
In general, astronomers are friendly, outgoing, and happy to allow you to view through their telescopes and answer your questions. A few courtesies that will enhance everyone?s experience:
Do not touch any part of any telescope unless the owner instructs you on the proper method. In particular, do not touch any glass optical surfaces.
Please be sure that all children are supervised around telescopes.
Remember, using lights near telescopes at night is highly disruptive. A piece of red "cellophane" wrapped over the end of a flashlight and held in place with a rubber band works great.
Fremont Peak Day - April:
This annual event is an old fashioned picnic sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Native Daughters of the Golden West. The event commemorates Captain John C. Fremont and his expedition?s U.S. flag raising in 1846 in defiance of the Mexican government. The April event date varies, so please call the park for information. |
| Directions: |
| Off of Highway 156, 11-miles south of San Juan Bautista on San Juan Canyon Road. |
