Death Valley National Park has some of the darkest night skies in the United States and was the third International Dark Sky Park in the U.S. National Park System certified by the International Dark-Sky Association. Dantes View, as well as Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes (to name just a few locations) are great places to view the starry night sky.
