the night sky. Here we are going to show you the most amazing
stunning stellar places fort the stargazing. You haven’t seen this before.
These places are very awesome that you feel like heaven there. We are
going to introduce some of the wonderful stargazing places here. Top
10 Amazing Stellar Places for Stargazing
1. Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, ID

The 1,416-square-mile Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, created in 2017,


is the first reserve of this kind in the U.S. The super-strict designation
only applies to 12 places in the world, including remote regions in
Namibia and Wales, where light pollution is nearly zero. Locals from
Stanley to Ketchum banded together to protect their epically bright
night skies. It paid off: You won’t find better stargazing visibility
anywhere in the country.
2. Sundance, UT

Located a 30-minute drive from the closest mid-size town, Sundance shines bright
at 6,000-plus feet. Visitors love the up-close views of Wasatch Mountain during
daytime rides on Ray’s Lift at Sundance Resort, but the experience gets all the
more magical at night. For 45 minutes, guests can soar toward Ray’s Summit,
counting their lucky stars and taking in the glow of the moon as it hangs above
Mount Timpanogos in the distance. Just be sure to take a blanket—temps drop
drastically at night.
3. San Luis Valley, CO

Believers should high-tail it to Center, Colorado, in the San Luis Valley,


where desert skies promise more than superb stargazing. Artist Judy
Messoline built a UFO-spotting campground and watchtower to
support the bevy of alien activity reported on her property. Travelers
often cite seeing dancing lights, disc-shaped aircraft, and “weird stuff.”
Look east from the tower and you can see Great Sand Dunes National
Park, which also has an otherworldly quality in the moonlight.
4. Mauna Kea, HI

Considered a pilgrimage for astronomy lovers, Mauna Kea was


regarded as a sacred place by early Hawaiians due to its proximity to
the gods. Get a proper 4WD car and climb the two hours to the summit,
high above cloud-level, to watch the sun disappear. Scope out the W.M.
Keck Observatory, then head back to the Visitors Information Station—
it stays open until 10 p.m. and hosts free night-sky viewing sessions at
9,200-feet. Thanks to its location near the equator, the VIS is the only
place in the nation where you can see major constellations from the
Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
5. Los Cabos, Mexico

The southern tip of Baja California is a prime spot for stargazing due to
the dry, clean air and minimal light pollution. Hotels in the area take
advantage of the evening bounty with events like the Night Sky
astronomy and bonfire series at Grand Velas, private stargazing tours at
the uber luxe One & Only Palmilla, and the Hotel Ganzo’s full moon
yoga sessions. But our favorite way to take in the show is on the water:
Charter a boat from the quieter San José del Cabo marina and set sail to
be enveloped by the sea and sky.
6. Death Valley National Park, CA

More than 90 percent of this 3.4 million-acre park is undeveloped,


garnering it Gold-Tier status with the International Dark Sky Park
system (psst, it’s also the largest Dark Sky Park in the country). Since it
almost never rains, there’s little chance of your outing getting spoiled
by cloud coverage.
7. Glacier National Park, MT

As the name implies, Big Sky Country is no slouch when it comes to star
spotting. Waterton and Glacier National Parks were designated as a
collective International Dark Sky Park as of 2017, which means no
bright lights for miles and miles. On any given night, you’ll see the Milky
Way, planets, and nebulae light up the night. Rangers and astronomers
often lead day programs and night star-viewing sessions during the
summer months.
8. Los Angeles, CA

Major cities aren’t likely to rank high on the list of clearest skies—and
L.A. with its high pollution index is admittedly hazy. But the City of
Angels deserves a spot on the list for its stellar Griffith Observatory, in
the city’s hilly Griffith Park. Planted in 1935, the 4,000-acre green spot
has free admission and public telescopes available to use until 10 p.m.
every night. One Saturday every month, the observatory also hosts Star
Parties, in which amateurs can hobnob with astronomy buffs.
9. Kamloops, B.C.

This 90,000-person town has loads of pristine lakes and creeks that
glitter under starlit skies. Nature photographers, who call the area
home, favor spots like Wolloper Lake, Jamesion Creek, and Wells Gray
Provincial Park (a waterfall paradise less than an hour away). Hold out
for winter, and you may just catch the northern lights within city limits.
10. Cedar Breaks National Monument, UT

Every Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the site hosts free star
parties to honor the beauty that hangs in the night sky above. Rangers
lead constellation tours and telescope-assisted viewings, and also stop
to point out the night critters and plant life that thrive after dark. At
10,350 feet, Cedar Breaks is proud to claim the highest regularly
scheduled astronomy program of any national park. Top 10 Amazing
