These events at national parks far from city lights will leave you starry-eyed!
There’s nothing quite like lying under a blanket of stars and marveling at the great mysteries of our universe. Whether you’re a casual observer of the cosmos or know your way around the constellations, stargazing can be a beautiful and contemplative experience.
One major benefit of stargazing at a national park is that light pollution is very low, which makes visibility excellent. In fact, several of the national parks have received certification from the International Dark Sky Association for their excellent nighttime viewing.So, if you’re looking to visit any of these national parks in 2024, you might want to plan for the dates that will leave you starry-eyed in the best way.

The Great Basin Astronomy Festival , Sept. 5-7 This year will mark the 15th annual Astronomy Festival at Nevada’s Great Basin National Park. Every year, the festival is held around the new moon in September, when there’s the least amount of moonlight. The three-day event is jam-packed with workshops and presentations, including nighttime telescope viewings and guest speakers, along with daytime activities such as observatory tours and a crafts event where you can make your own constellation.
