ABOUT ABOUT

Friends of Black Rock, in partnership with Fly Ranch, is excited to announce an exciting new opportunity to see Fly Geyser like never before: at night! Due to quite a bit of interest from nighttime and astro-photographers, as well as folks who would appreciate the cooler temperatures and the opportunity to camp overnight, we are offering up to 15 people the chance to do just that! Activities will include a golden-hour Nature Walk as the sun sets behind the Granite Mountains, a Dark-Sky presentation, ample time to take night-time photographs and timelapses, with camping available at nearby Hualapai Flat (the site of the 1997 Burning Man). Tickets are limited so act fast!
