Description

Join us at Arches National Park the following evening for a presentation about the telescope and a star party.
In 2015 Canyonlands National Park was certified as an International Dark Sky Park, a place recognized for its quality night skies and a commitment to protecting and sharing natural darkness. Rangers lead regular astronomy programs and special events. They work with staff from nearby dark sky parks to offer Moab-area visitors an opportunity to explore the night sky.
