Event
Meteors at Meany
Meteors!
Come watch the Perseid Meteor Shower at The Mountaineers Meany Lodge up on Stampede Pass. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at their peak. The shower's peak will likely occur on August 13 & 14, but some meteors are visible any time from July 23 - August 22. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast after midnight.
The Mountaineers' Meany Lodge has plenty of dark sky which will make the viewing more spectacular. And Meany's ski hill offers a great place to set up lawn chairs and spread out blankets for watching the show. The site opens at 7 pm, and weÃÃ,Ã,¢ll have guided tours of the stars with local astronomers starting at 9 pm. This is a free event and all are welcome. If you don't feel like driving home afterwards, register to stay at the lodge for $25 per person, including breakfast the next day.
