Stars, UFOs, and Light Sabers! - Chad is very experienced and knowledgeable, and provided chairs and blankets for that chilly night air. We were a lively crew and he rolled with it quite nicely! Our highlight was a UFO sighting and it practically went right over us. Not one person in the entire group could identify it as anything else. I took a screen shot off my video, but we didn’t get a regular photo. Where can I upload our video?

Stories under the stars - Chad had a cozy outdoor setup for us with comfy chairs and blankets. He was entertaining as he explained about the stars, planets, and so much more. His stories were made even more enjoyable by his Matthew McConaughey-like voice.

Great stargazing experience. Chad is knowledgeable, entertaining, war, and welcoming. - The stories that Chad told were really entertaining and informative. He took really good care of the group with comfy chairs and warm blankets on a surprisingly chilly April night. This experience was one of our family’s favorite parts of our northern Arizona trip. You could tell how much passion Chad has to share his knowledge of astronomy with everyone. We are all so glad we did this tour!

Perfect night for viewing! - We were fortunate to have clear night skies. It was chilly but Chad had blankets and hand warmers to help us be more comfortable. The stories were captivating and detailed. We saw planets and shooting stars. I would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in the celestials.

First off don’t let the... - First off don’t let the photo fool you, you are not in an area with the view of a monument. You are in a parking lot that you can park in on your own. Chad is friendly, informative and engaging and he provides chairs and blankets. I believe this talk is maybe worth $40-$50. Lastly, I would have rated this higher if we would have started at 8 maybe 8:30 to have more time in full dark.
