Badlands National Park - Sunset and Stargazing (Private)
Rapid City, South Dakota, USA
$2600.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
A once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the incredible Badlands; first in the afternoon and into a golden sunset - followed by the official National Park stargazing program.
The best of both worlds, this tour allows us the view wildlife and the parks formations before the sun sets, and then taking on the park after dark!
Because Badlands National Park is not surrounded by big cities or other major sources of light pollution, night skies in the park are very clear. After dark, visitors can see many of the night sky’s greatest hits: constellations, the moon, satellites, and airplanes. But the special darkness of Badlands National Park helps visitors to see even more like planets, the Milky Way, star clusters, nebulae, the International Space Station, shooting stars, and – very occasionally – the aurora borealis.
