I’ve Stargazed All Over the U.S.—and This National Park Has Some of the Country’s Best Night Sky Views

"Offering some of the darkest skies in the U.S., I found Capitol Reef National Park an exceptional spot for stargazing; its remote location, reinforced by the nearby Dark Sky Community of Torrey that helps protect it from light pollution, makes night-sky viewing superb, while daytime visitors love its scenic hikes and stunning views." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.
