Itinerary:

Lets check out what all the fuss is about.

The fuss this evening is about 7 planets aligning in the sky, and we Earthlings should be able to see it with our eyeballs and/or binoculars. (If you want to lug up a telescope, go for it!)

We will meet at the walk up trail (near Confederate Hall parking).

Please arrive early so we can lace up, line up, then go up.

BEGINNERS WELCOME. But NO DOGS are allowed at the top (park rules).

Go at your own pace. Sunset is at 6:30 so we'll have plenty of time to take our time going up to watch that spectacular event. The alignment is said to happen about 30 minutes after that.

I factored in a cushion of time for spectating and socializing... Leave any time you want.
