Escape to Twickenham, Oregon, a hidden gem in Wheeler County's vast, dark sky zone. Prepare to be amazed by unparalleled stargazing, where the celestial canvas comes alive with breathtaking clarity. This remote sanctuary, known for its tranquility and stunning natural beauty, has also become a hotspot for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings. Glowing orbs, pulsating lights, and other mysterious aerial phenomena have been frequently reported, adding an element of intrigue to your stargazing experience. Wheeler County was recently highlighted in Investigation Alien, a Netflix documentary led by George Knapp. This area offers a unique opportunity to connect with the cosmos and perhaps witness something truly extraordinary. The Enclave provides the perfect base for your celestial adventures, with minimal light pollution and dramatic views of the rimrocks, mountains, and open skies. Explore nearby wonders like the John Day Fossil Beds, Painted Hills, and the John Day River, or simply relax under the star-studded canopy. We're conveniently located just one mile from the Twickenham Bridge, a popular access point for John Day River float trips. Shuttle service available. Please inquire.Cosmic Adventures at The Enclave!
