Special Programs
Two-thirds of Americans cannot see the Milky Way from their backyards, and nearly all (99%) live in places with measurable light pollution. Great Basin National Park's night skies are among the darkest in the country. Join a ranger and amateur astronomers for a celebration of this rare and valuable resource, and see stars like few places on Earth!
Special Stargazing events are scheduled throughout the summer. Check out the Schedule of Events page, stop by any visitor center or call (775) 234-7331 x 212 for more information.
