Grand Canyon Star Party

The environment is amazing, and it will be a great week to geek out. The TAA are super hardcore, many of them have research-grade telescopes that they maintain "for fun." We'll go on hikes into and around the canyon, educate the public and look at the sky every night, and probably make some day trips to Meteor Crater, Flagstaff, Sedona, etc. It should be really fun.
