Night Skies, Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah

Enjoy the beautiful night sky at Natural Bridges National Monument in southeastern Utah. Though this can be done at many of the national parks, Natural Bridges has actually made this a priority and was the first International Dark Sky Park certified by the International Dark-Sky Association (a non-profit dedicated to preserving and protecting the nighttime environment). With limited “light pollution” you’ll be amazed at the beauty of the river of light formed by the Milky Way rising over Owachomo Bridge. Also, take advantage of the astronomy programs from May and through September to help learn more about the starry skies.
