replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli @Wild_Tribute Haha! "the animal noises" I hadn't even thought about that. I LOVE the sound of The National Parks' Tree Frog Chorus. #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @billbrokob @Wild_Tribute Are we certain daylight has really prevented such behavior? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A1 of course for us, it's nocturnal wildlife! 😁 But I'm also a big fan K of the moon in its many phases! 😍

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: The stars, but also the quiet that allows you to hear all the nocturnal animals that are about. #ParkChat

replying to @noxqq4u @noxqq4u @ArchesNPS We’d love to know how long the bush has been growing on top of Delicate Arch. @ArchesNPS, has it always been there? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) well of course the stars and stuff and things that come out in the night. #ParkChat

@ArchesNPS So, in prep for tonight's "Park After Dark" #ParkChat , I compiled this bit of fun for those who enjoy exploring(in great conditions) a Park After Dark!

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I grew up in the country and then moved to the big city. I think it actually hurts more that way. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) I'm a huge fan of star gazing, and fortunately I have public access to a nearby observatory @KillarneyPP , which was recently named an official dark sky preserve. #ParkChat

A1. The Quiet, or rather, the natural quiet that most ppl have forgotten about.
Its not actually quiet at all, just seems that way, after living bombarded w/noise 24/7/365.
And the Dark. Also,not that dark,just seems that way. :)
I hike,run,snowshoe at Night often. :)

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

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) A moonless night at @GlacierNPS was pretty dark and really amazing. #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) 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 @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute I was on Haleakala a couple weeks ago. Definitely want to go back to camp. It must be eery at night. #parkchat
