About the event
Join Cape Perpetua Collaborative, Trailkeepers of Oregon, and Carlton Observatory for the inaugural Tidepools to Trails to Telescopes! Building on the success of our beloved Tidepools to Trails program, we are thrilled to partner with Carlton Observatory to bring you an expanded one-of-a-kind day that connects land, sea, and sky stewardship on the Oregon Coast.
Start your morning exploring the rocky intertidal zones of the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve with an expert field guide, then gather together for local snacks and a solarscope session with Carlton Observatory, a unique chance to safely observe the sun in stunning detail. Next, head into the forest for a trail party, where you help maintain local trails with a TKO crew leader.
As the evening approaches, stay for a guided stargazing experience with Carlton Observatory telescopes (weather and visibility permitting, participants will be notified the week of the event).
Great company…
