Tour Highlights
*Update effective 8/2/23: Due to overwhelming demand for this program, we have moved the eclipse-viewing portion of the itinerary from Summer’s Mill Ranch in Waco to a luxury retreat in Glen Rose, TX. The new location, Rough Creek Lodge, offers more space, a greater variety of accommodations, and more exclusivity for the Cal Alumni eclipse-viewing group. *

- Feed your curiosity with experiences and lectures led by leading experts, as well as some of the best local guides in the country.
- Visit Dallas’s esteemed Perot Museum of Nature and Science for a privately guided tour and discussion within the exhibit hall, called the “Expanding Universe.”
