See You Later, Observatory

As my final week wraps up, I want to thank everyone at the Observatory for giving an absolutely incredible and unforgettable 1.5 years on the summit. I have seen and learned an incredible amount and am very thankful for all of the wonderful people both up here on the summit and down in the valley that keep the Observatory’s gears turning.

If you want to stay overnight on the summit, the observatory has several options for you. Our winter and summer overnight trips allow attendees to spend a night on the summit, learning about topics ranging from photography to meteorology. Our volunteer program allows members of the observatory to stay on the summit for a week, while helping cook and clean. Finally, our intern program allows qualified applicants to spend a season with one of the shifts, helping out with projects and learning what observers do on a daily basis.
