Huntsville Travel Guide: Off-Roading and Beyond

Stargazing From Your Gilbert Vacation Rental

While Gilbert is part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, the eastern edges of town still offer surprisingly good stargazing opportunities. Head to the outskirts or drive a short distance east toward the Superstition Mountains, and the sky opens up with stars, planets, and even the occasional meteor shower.

Set up a chair in the backyard of your vacation rental on a clear night and enjoy the show. Many of our Gilbert rentals feature private patios and yards that are perfect for casual stargazing without leaving home.

Stargazing From Your Rental

• Use the private patio or backyard for comfortable viewing
• Download a star app to identify planets and constellations
• Watch for the International Space Station passing overhead
• Plan around meteor showers for the most spectacular shows

One of the joys of a vacation rental is having your own outdoor space. On a clear Arizona night, that patio becomes the best seat in the house for a celestial show.
