Booking a Dorm
The dormitories are operated by Whipple Observatory and should be booked two weeks in advance of your arrival. We guarantee the availability of rooms for two MMT observers, beyond this will depend on room availability. There are eight fully equipped dorms in the “bowl” area just below the summit and additional rooms at the Ridge dorms located at a lower elevation approximately 5km below the summit. Dorms are equipped with bedding, towels and soap.
