The Fall Star Party kicks off at sundown from the group-use campground at Cathedral Gorge State Park, which is located along the Great Basin Highway road trip between Pioche and Caliente. Pack plenty of layers to stay as comfortable as possible with rapidly changing temperatures between afternoon and evening hours, along with red flashlights and headlamps to preserve night vision for optimal stargazing conditions.
