The Ultimate Evening in Zion National Park | Sunset Yoga + Candle-lit Picnic + Stargazing Tour
Zion National Park is famous for its towering red rock cliffs and epic hikes - but when the sun goes down, something even more extraordinary happens.
With minimal light pollution and protected night skies, stargazing in Zion National Park is among the best in the United States. On a clear night, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, planets glow with startling clarity and deep-space objects become visible to the naked eye.
The Cosmic Flow Stargazing Experience was created to help you experience Zion in the most immersive and intentional way possible - combining sunset yoga, a candle-lit charcuterie picnic and a guided stargazing tour with a professional telescope.
This is a three part experience designed around presence, beauty and wonder.
Why Zion National Park Is One of the Best Places for Stargazing
Zion sits near multiple International Dark Sky regions, making it an exceptional location for night sky viewing. Unlike cities or resort towns, the skies near Zion remain remarkably dark, allowing stars, planets and galaxies to appear with stunning clarity.
On most nights, stargazing near Zion National Park can include:
• The Milky Way visible to the naked eye
• Bright planets such as Saturn, Jupiter and Venus
• Star clusters, nebulae and distant galaxies
• Seasonal meteor showers
This makes Zion stargazing a must-do experience for travelers who want something unforgettable after sunset.
PART ONE: Cosmic Flow At Sunset | Yoga + Meditation + Sound Healing
The Cosmic Flow Deluxe Experience begins before nightfall with a sunset Cosmic Flow session held in a magical outdoor location with an incredible view of Zion National Park. It has to be one of the most remarkable places in the world to watch the sun set.
As the sun sets and the cliffs glow with golden light, guests are guided through a moving meditation consisting of gentle yoga, breathwork and sound healing. The practice is slow, grounding and accessible - designed to calm the nervous system and transition the body from the activity of the day into stillness.
This intentional beginning makes the stargazing portion of the evening even more powerful. When the mind is quiet, the night sky feels vast in the best possible way.
PART TWO: Candle-Lit Charcuterie Picnic Beneath the Stars
After the yoga session, guests are invited to relax and enjoy a beautifully curated candle-lit charcuterie picnic as twilight fades into darkness.
Set against the desert landscape, this portion of the evening creates a sense of intimacy and ease. Candles glow, conversations soften and the first stars begin to appear overhead.
This pause is intentional - allowing time to connect, reflect and fully arrive before turning attention to the cosmos.
PART THREE: Stargazing Zion National Park With a Professional Telescope
Once darkness settles in, the experience transitions into a guided stargazing tour near Zion National Park using a professional Dobsonian telescope.
With expert guidance, guests are shown how to navigate the night sky and understand what they’re seeing. Depending on the season and conditions, the stargazing experience may include:
• Saturn’s rings or Jupiter’s moons
• Nebulae and star-forming regions
• Distant galaxies millions of light-years away
•. The Milky Way in breathtaking detail
This guided approach makes Zion stargazing accessible whether it’s your first time looking through a telescope or if you’ve always been curious about astronomy.
