A great astronomical and astrological adventure! - Mel and Jenny were delightful hosts, who were clearly very knowledgeable about the astronomy and astrology of the night sky. The dark sky viewing was stupendous! Hadn’t seen the Milky Way since grade school, so was surprised it was so easy to see still and my family had never seen it before. We really enjoyed the multiple creation myths about the Milky Way and the other constellations. We could go on and on about how great the experience was, but do yourself a favor and book a tour with Mel and Jenny.

Seeing Milky Way in dark sky area - Wonderful to see the Milky Way! Weather had been cloudy but Mel and Jenny were able to take us out a little later and we had a great view. they pointed out constellations and the stories behind them. Really nice of them to show us so much! Can’t wait to see the pictures, glad we could do this in a dark sky area

Star gazing - We had a great time star gazing. The weather conditions were not the greatest, but it was a great experience. Something we had never done before.

Great experience at night with the stars - I had a wonderful tour with Jenny and Mel. Jenny took beautiful photos with the Milky Way in the background and Mel and her showed and explained the stories about different stars, f. e. Kassiopeia. I could have listened endlessly as it was exciting and informative. Thanks a lot!! I can highly recommend this excursion at night!

Milky Way Portrait; May 2023 - Anything that I’d gathered from this trip I should cherish; it’s lighthearted, but the introduction to space, and charting out its endless expanse is something that’ll stick with me. I hope that these resources don’t go undermined by those involved, and that those who try this appreciate the opportunity. Our guide, came thoroughly prepared; she’s sweet, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I wish them the best.

Beautiful Stars in This Area - The stars around Torrey, Utah are absolutely beautiful! The couple who handled the tour (husband drove and talked, wife took pictures and talked) were very pleasant. When we first arrived to photo area, the clouds were covering the Milky Way; however, they spent time talking about other constellations, and we were fortunate that the area mostly cleared enough for our pictures. The pictures turned out really good. My only change would be that I wanted to go to a mountaintop to feel closer to the stars. We basically went to a road near their house where they had set up to photograph. I realize that they know the area, and the stars were pretty, but the view around us was not. My recommendation - find a viewing place that is up higher.
