Stargazing
- The national parks and monuments of southeastern Utah have long
been popular destinations for travelers. In addition to their stunning
landscapes and rich cultural history, these areas share another resource:
some of the darkest skies remaining in the contiguous 48 United States.
A moonless night spent under the stars in southeastern Utah will amaze
visitors with the volume of stars visible to the naked eye. |
