Valley City  (CSi)  Tuesday, June 21st, Summer Solstice is upon us and once again the days begin to lessen.  The public is invited to Medicine Wheel Park to watch the sunset at 9:30-pm. Nothing formal, just the sunset. Bring bug spray!  Located at 149 Winter Show Road in south Valley City.

The Summer Solstice is the first day of summer and it officially begins at the moment the Sun reaches its most northern position (23.5 degrees north of the equator).  The Medicine Wheel marks where the sun sets on the horizon on the summer solstice.  See for yourself how the rock alignments unite the landscape to the sky to create a natural calendar.  It is dramatic!  You won’t want to miss it!
