Private night observatory with grounds that are publicly accessible. Absolutely beautiful surroundings lying within the Lincoln National Forest and within the Sacramento Mountains on Apache Peak. This observatory is just a half mile from the older National Solar Observatory (NSO) on Sacramento Peak. Apache Point has an informational display at the NSO visitor's center. There is a stunningly beautiful view of the Tularosa Basin from Apache Point. Very highly recommended! They even have shaded picnick tables were you can bring a sack lunch and enjoy the view. There is no public access to the telescopes though.
