After Dark Desert Tour and Navigating the Night Sky

This was a good tour, David was nice. He explained many things. We had a good time. my only reservation was that the tour mentioned use of telescopes and binoculars. Telescopes were not given to us or used at all. I even asked for it and was given an excuse. My only suggestion is that if you do not intend to use telescopes, then you guys should remove “telescopes” from the tour description.

Holy Smokes - way better than what we were expecting! David is a wealth of local and state knowledge and was very focused on insuring that we had a top notch experience. It was so much more than just a night sky experience. We were picked up right on time in a comfortable late model suburban and Offered beverages immediately. Then we were on our way to the Superstition Mountains. He toured us around the most amazing natural sites sharing new and unique insights about AZ, its landscape, and relevant history. David even drove us through a Ghost Town. Once it was dark, we went to a stargazing spot where he oriented us to the night skies and provided cots and blankets so we could lie down and look up. He also set up chairs facing the direction of the seasons shooting stars. Binoculars were shared with us as were more stories, snacks and drinks. When we were ready he finished the evening by sharing more insights about Arizona as he drove us back to our hotel. It was a wonderful excursion and a significant highlight of our week in AZ.

Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Dave is warm and engaging with lots of facts and tidbit on our way to and from. The trail walk is beautiful and easy to navigate-afterwards he pulled out chairs and even a cot to view the stars from different view points with binoculars-amazing what you can see!! Brought some of his family “pets” for us to meet which was amazing as well. All kinds of knowledge about the stars and constellations-absolutely will do again!!
