Night Descends and Stars Illuminate Utah's National Parks

Utah’s high deserts, boasting the highest number of certified Dark Sky Places globally, offer stunning views of the cosmos, making them a prime destination for stargazers. Notably, Bryce Canyon National Park and Antelope Island State Park, both recognized as Dark Sky Places, provide optimal conditions for astronomy enthusiasts, thanks to their high elevations and low light pollution. Keven ‘The Dark Ranger’ Poe, who operates telescope tours around Bryce Canyon, emphasizes that the area’s dry air and rugged landscape contribute to its exceptional star visibility. With events like “star parties” gaining popularity, visitors can enjoy encounters with celestial phenomena while also learning about the local ecosystem. As light pollution becomes an increasing concern globally, Utah’s commitment to preserving its dark skies makes it a beacon for both amateur and seasoned astronomers seeking a breathtaking view of the night sky.
