Sedona [1]’s dark skies provide the perfect backdrop for shimmering planets, galaxies, and star clusters. Evening Sky Tours (928/203-0006, www.eveningskytours.com [2], $60 adults, $20 children, free under 8) surveys the nighttime canopy with custom-built telescopes that offer so-close-you-can-touch-it views of the moon, meteor showers, and even Saturn’s rings. Professional astronomers use high-powered laser pointers to guide you around the night sky without getting too technical.
