Mark your calendars for our upcoming campout to Palomar Mountain from 8/14 - 8/16! We'll be camping at the Observatory Campground and enjoying a hike to the world-famous Palomar Observatory, located atop Palomar Mountain in northern San Diego County. Owned and operated by Caltech, the observatory is a renowned center for astronomical research and is home to several active telescopes, including the iconic 200-inch Hale Telescope, one of the largest optical telescopes in the world. This promises to be an exciting weekend of camping, hiking, and exploring one of Southern California's most fascinating scientific landmarks. More details will be sent as we get closer to the event. We look forward to having you join us for this adventure!
