The rich juniper-sage aromas, combined with great dark skies make for a relaxing astronomy experience. The altitude is 3900 feet. Snowfall is negligible. The Cascade Range and local topography create the best chance for clear night skies in our area of the country. The air is usually clear and dry.
Access is year-round.
Roads are paved for all but 3 miles. We have traveled and observed in central and eastern Oregon for years trying to find a reasonable private astronomy site. We found and began developing Juniper Sky in 1994.
