Celebrate International Dark Sky Week In A National Park

“Half the park is after dark.” April 5 – 12 marks International Dark Sky Week 2021, a celebration of the vast, wondrous, starry sky above us. Perhaps you are even planning a visit to a National Park Service unit that's been designated an International Dark Sky Park. This special week also emphasizes how light pollution hampers our ability to see the stars and produces harmful consequences to all living things.

Two Trees And The Virgin River, Zion National Park

A winter scenery of two lone, bare-branched trees on the bank of the Virgin River in Zion National Park

Zion National Park is more than just the rugged, steep, red-rock canyon walls. There is eye-catching geology in the form of ancient cross-bedded sand dunes, twisted Ponderosa pines growing out of cracks in the rocks, and softer scenes of bare-branched trees in the winter growing along the banks of the Virgin River.
