A2. Other than a cave, probably @DeathValleyNPS, an International Dark Sky Park, and Craters of the Moon National Monument. Central Oregon. And of course, my beloved @NCascadesNPS. #ParkChat

@ArchesNPS A2 #ParkChat My bathroom with lights off and door closed 😅
Honestly though it’s amazing how much light there is in the middle of a dark sky preserve

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2: two of my favorites so far: Grand Canyon & Acadia. Thanks to the folks on the island, they have a “lights curfew” - I’d love to see more of those around! #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2. The darkest place I've been was probably the Lehman Caves at @GreatBasinNPS which also has amazing dark skies! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2 When I was in nearby Capital Reef NP, I seem to recall them explaining that it was the darkest (or among the darkest) places in the country. #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2 Outside of caves, I would say @BryceCanyonNPS. Skies were gorgeous at night. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2) This isn't a National Park of course, but the family cabin is one of the farthest points from any main highway in Michigan, and I have experienced some beautifully pitch black, brilliant starry nights there. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2: The backcountry in RMNP last summer was pretty dark but the first time I saw the Milky Way was at Caprick Canyons State Park here in Texas #ParkChat

A2 Being an East Coaster means it's really difficult to find dark skies, even in the national parks. The darkest place I've ever been was the old Sheldon Church ruins in @Visit_Beaufort
Without my strobes it was pitch black. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2) Within the National Park Service it would be in the low lands of Joshua Tree National Park. Outside of the NPS it was along the Pacific Coast Highway in Big Sur where there wasn't any light sources for miles. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS #ParkChat A2 outside, Great Sand Dunes NPP during a thin crescent moon. Inside, @WindCaveNPS when they turn off the lights! 😁

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2. The Adirondack Scout Reservation in New York's Adirondack State Park. Definitely the darkest skies I've ever experienced - and a great place to spend three summers teaching Astronomy Merit Badge! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2. I'm from a mining community, and we clearly pride ourselves on this 😁 there is a place that gives access to the public to safely go down a mine shaft. That's a dark space! Otherwise, the are a few very dark parks nearby that offer greater stargazing.#ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2. Darkest place I've been was on a cave tour--Wind Cave, I think--when the guide turned off the lights to show us complete darkness. 30 seconds was about all I could take. #parkchat

@ArchesNPS A2: The Most Incredible Sight We Ever Saw Was on a #Moonless Night Near #Zion #NationalPark.
I’ve Been Lucky Enough to See Many Incredible Things - But I’ve Never Seen So Many Stars in the Sky!

A2. Hmmm....probably middle of the Adirondacks or possibly Arches/Natural Bridges, if memory serves.

A2. Portions of Namibia & South Africa such as Kgalagadi Park. A lot of this was done by van camping looking up at the miracle of the night sky. #ParkChat
