As an increasing number of open spaces are converted to urban or suburban areas, the beauty and wonder of the night sky is disappearing. The universe is becoming obscured by the dull electric glow of every street lamp, house light and neon sign that casts its light into the night sky, making places of undisturbed darkness like Lake Roosevelt vital and unique. The annual Perseid meteor shower is coming and here is your chance to view them unencumbered by unnatural light.

Join Park Rangers and volunteers for an overnight canoe trip to watch the Perseid Meteor Showers, one of the best showers of the year.
