Off the beaten path. Five minutes beyond the pavement. Three hours beneath the New Mexico sky.
Settle into a reclining chair with a warm drink and a blanket while we watch for stars, planets, satellites, shooting stars — and anything else that happens to cross the sky.
Book Your Night Sky WatchEach night's start time follows the setting sun.
From meeting at sunset through the final look at the sky.
Small enough to stay relaxed, quiet and personal.
A private desert location five minutes beyond the pavement.
You won't have to wonder whether you've taken a wrong turn.
We'll meet at the entrance to the dirt road and you'll follow us the final five minutes to Abiquiu Sky Ranch.
Once we arrive, there's plenty of time to park, use the restroom, get something warm to drink, wrap up in a blanket and settle into your reclining chair while the last light disappears from the desert.
The exact clock time changes with the seasons. The rhythm of the evening stays simple.
Meet at the entrance to the dirt road and follow us into Abiquiu Sky Ranch.
Park, use the restroom, grab a warm drink, choose your chair and watch the desert transition into night.
Phones and white lights go away. We let our eyes adjust and give the night our attention.
Recline, get comfortable and see what the New Mexico sky decides to show us.
Stars. Planets. Satellites. Meteors.
Some things we'll recognize. Some things we may have to look up.
And sometimes we may simply look at each other and ask...
“Did anybody else see that?”
Lean back and give yourself a whole sky to look at.
Coffee, tea, hot cocoa and water.
Available whenever something deserves a closer look.
Because New Mexico desert nights can get chilly.
We don't have to explain everything we see.
Five minutes beyond the pavement can feel much farther away.
No crowds. No city lights. Just the desert getting quiet, the landscape disappearing into darkness and a very big sky overhead.
Because sunset changes throughout the year, your exact meeting time will be shown when you book.
We'll meet at the entrance to the dirt road and you'll follow us approximately five minutes to the ranch.
Meeting and arrival information are provided to booked guests.
Desert temperatures can drop quickly after sunset. Layers and closed-toe shoes are recommended.
Night Sky Watches are weather dependent. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll contact you.
About an hour after sunset, phones and white lights go away so everyone's eyes can adjust to the night.
