Santa Cruz Astronomy Club

Every summer the Santa Cruz Astronomy Club packs up our telescopes and camping gear for a trip to Glacier Point in Yosemite National park. It's a fun weekend of observing and sharing the night sky with park visitors from all over the world. If you are interested in attending this event sponsored by the park, please check out the files listed below the map.
