Q4. International #DarkSkyWeek begins later this month. What’s your favorite place to view the night sky? (📷: @CanyonlandsNPS) #ParkChat


replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 Seeing the Milky Way anywhere makes me happy. Like I said, I live in a city so going anywhere with dark skies is a treat. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4. @KillarneyPP and Manitoulin island - both are home to pristine dark skies and offer up great stargazing opportunities! #ParkChat

A4 Among our National Parks, @BigBendNPS is my favorite. Right outside my door isn't bad either #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS #parkchat A4 a short drive to @WindCaveNPS or @badlandsnps for us gives a wide open view of the sky! Once even saw some aurora from @badlandsnps years ago. 😍

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4) Anywhere we can get full dark and enjoy a clear sky. Bonus points if we're camping on NPS ground! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 #2. I had the chance to travel the Yukon and NWT years back, incredible night skies! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4. It can get a bit of light pollution but I love camping out and gazing at the stars deep in the backcountry of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4) Though it could be better, my favorite place to view the night sky is on top of Mt Wanda at @JohnMuirNPS, I've been helping out on the Full Moon Walks there for over 20 years & to imagine that you're looking at the stars where John Muir once stood is priceless. #ParkChat

A4: Even just a drive outside the city limits to see the stars is a soul pleaser #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 #ParkChat From a campsite I had to walk many miles to get to in the middle of the wilderness

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4. Same here. Grew up in the city, then lived on Long Island. Some of these Hudson Valley evenings are...yes, a treat #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 @mcdonaldobs in west Texas offers amazing star parties #ParkChat

A4. We’re biased, anywhere in Southern Utah. Natural Bridges NM, oh my! Close second, @GreatBasinNPS #parkchat

@ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4. At home on my farm, but it's not as dark as it used to be. I've seen dark skies at Badlands NP, too. But, maybe the most awesome sky moment in the Badlands was watching lightning above the formations. Whoa.

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 At Old Faithful in @YellowstoneNPS - being able to view the geyser and the geyser basin with stars as a backdrop is beautiful #ParkChat

A4: A full moonlit night hike at Donner Memorial State Park, CA circa 1984. I was amazed on how many campers had never explored the forest or Donner Lake shoreline at night. Priceless memories. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4: anywhere we are camping. But one favorite is Big Meadows @ShenandoahNPS for the astronomy nights. On podcast episode 2.1 our kids talk about “astronomies”! #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 My fave place to view the night sky is from the backcountry…like Lake Elizabeth or top of Boulder Pass in Glacier NP. #parkchat
