Notti di Yosemite : 90 - Minuto Stargazing e Storie Tour
Descrizione
Inizia la tua avventura osservando le stelle incontrando la tua Guida, poi siediti e guarda mentre la valle si trasforma. Migliaia di stelle che appaiono, costellazioni che si affilano in vista e, durante il periodo giusto dell'anno, la fascia nebbiosa della Via Lattea che si estende sopra la testa. Ascolta mentre la tua Guida condivide storie accattivanti della nostra connessione umana con il cielo notturno. Scopri perché Venere e Giove brillano più di qualsiasi stella nel cielo. Usa le mani per misurare le stelle come facevano i navigatori polinesiani. Usa il binocolo per dare un'occhiata più da vicino, poi immergiti ancora di più con la visione dal vivo del telescopio! Ascolta storie affascinanti sulla storia e la struttura dell'universo e su come abbiamo trovato significato, scopo e gioia al suo interno. E non dimenticate di tenere d'occhio i satelliti e le stelle cadenti in alto!
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
In una notte limpida e senza luna nella Yosemite Valley, il cielo si accende come la maggior parte delle persone non ha mai visto prima. Vedrai molte più stelle di quante tu sia abituato in città, con grandi costellazioni come Orione e il Grande Carro che spiccano chiaramente, e nella stagione giusta una fascia nebbiosa della Via Lattea che si estende attraverso il cielo. Le pareti di granito di El Capitan e Half Dome diventano sagome scure che incorniciano le stelle, mentre pianeti luminosi, le Pleiadi e persino la debole Galassia di Andromeda appaiono con una piccola guida e un puntatore laser. Probabilmente ti ritroverai con qualche stella cadente o satellite alla deriva, il tutto mentre la valle stessa si calma: aria fresca che cade dalle scogliere, il fiume sullo sfondo e la sensazione che quasi tutti gli altri siano andati a letto e abbiano lasciato questa versione di Yosemite solo per te.

Very interesting night tour - was very clear night, great for star gazing and learning about starts and planets
Hey Anna, it was so great having you and glad you were able to join us :)
Had an amazing experience on this guided star-gazing trip. Zeke was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He made sure we all had a great time, serving us up with some interesting scientific facts, cultural stories, and some delicious hot chocolate. The meetup spot is also very convenient, in the Sentinal Bridge parking area, right next to the vast open space right in the middle of the valley. Views were awesome, even though we had a half moon, stars were still very clearly visible in the sky, and were mesmerizing behind the backdrop of Yosemite’s mountain peaks and Yosemite Falls. Definitely a worthwhile experience, good value for money.
Hey Auon, It was such a pleasure!! Definitely let me know if you end up getting that telescope!
We had a wonderful night of star gazing last night!! Zeke was knowledgeable, engaging and we enjoyed learning about the night sky. He took time to answer questions, point out different constellations and even sent us telescopic pictures of the night sky. He had chairs, blankets and even hot chocolate!! 😊 I’m would highly recommend this tour!!
Hey Bonnie, It was an absolute pleasure having you. Thank you so much for joining us and hope the rest of your time in Yosemite was amazing!
Zeke was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledeable and answered all of the questions our children had. The sky was beautiful and moon-less so the stars were really bright. He made hot chocolate for everyone that wanted it. The telescope that he brought was really neat too and we were able to see a galaxy. Worth it!
It was so great having you, thank you so much for coming!!
Our tour guide Zeke was awesome! Great views of the stars.
Hey Erica, It was so great having you and your family. Thanks for all your great questions, and hope you had a great trip home! All the best, Zeke
Great way to finished our day touring and exploring the park. The breathtaking scenery now highlighted at night.
We were so glad to have you :)
This was such a neat experience for the end of a long first day in Yosemite. We were offered chairs, or blankets to sit on, and hot cocoa. Our guide was friendly, accommodating, great with children, and a good storyteller. Our guide took an image of two galaxies colliding, located in a constellation some of their stories were centered upon and sent them to us to keep. I definitely recommend this to anyone, whether you’re going to Yosemite as a family, traveling solo, or with friends.
Hey Miyuki, Thank you for the kind words and it was so great having you!
Zeke was a wealth of information of the night sky to galactic portions. Not only over Yosemite but worldwide. Watching the sky grow dark in the meadow with the waterfall dimming in the foreground was perfect. Our small group was fully engaged and help add to the knowledge that Zeke shared. It was a perfect way to end our already amazing visit to Yosemite. Thank you Zeke
Hey Gloria, It was so great having you and Moses! You were both a pleasure to talk to. I will definitely have to check out Zeke's coffee as soon as I get a chance ;) Safe travels home!
This was an incredibly intimate experience and worth the price. Zeke is a great storyteller, conversationalist, and we really enjoyed the laser he used to point out the stars and constellations. His assistant, Lexi, was also very charming and sweet. One major highlight was how accommodating he was with my now fiancé. He filmed the proposal in front of the beautiful Yosemite Valley waterfalls! We’ll never forget this.
Hey Abi, It was such a pleasure having you, and we all felt honored that you shared your special night with us. Safe travels, and hope to see you next time you come to Yosemite!
Zeke is an awesome guide and very nice person. He is knowledgeable, helpful, entertaining and made the experience very enjoyable. I would book other adventurers with Zeke. Below are 2 picture from right before the stargazing as Zeke suggested we check these areas out while waiting for dark.
Hey Tammy, It was such a great time exploring the park with you and Scott. Can't wait to meet the grandkids if you ever end up bringing them out this way!! All the best, Zeke
