Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in cooperation with the Smoky Mountains Astronomical Society, will offer a 2 1/2 hour stargazing program in Cades Cove. Experienced astronomers and numerous telescopes will be on hand to provide a discovery of the autumn sky's position of stars, galaxies, and constellations; including the milkey way. In case of rain or cloud cover where night skies are not visible, the program will be cancelled.

Participants for the program should park near the exhibit shelter at the entrance to the Cades Cove Loop Road where a ranger will be to escort the group about one-third of a mile to a nearby field. Those planning to attend should dress warmly, and bring a flashlight and a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Also if you have a pair of binoculars, bring them, as they will help you in viewing the stairs when not using telescopes. Carpooling is strongly suggested.
