Review of UCO/Lick Observatory

Well worth half a Saturday to visit. One lane roads with "100" switchbacks are not for the squeamish. Tour gives a very interesting history lesson.

Hard to believe this event is free.

Parking seems like it could quickly run out.

The tour gives a very interesting historical lesson and makes you appreciate the founder. Even by modern standards the telescope is a very impressively large piece of equipment.

They also offer some opportunities to sign up to actually look through the scope at night. Hard to get tickets.
