Wyoming's Teton County Is Now the First Certified International Dark Sky Community

"The first airport ever to earn designation as an International Dark Sky Place, this commercial airport is notable for being located within a national park and undertook extensive lighting upgrades and programming to meet responsible lighting standards. Airport staff invested hundreds of hours updating fixtures and controls to improve the stargazing experience and to protect nocturnal wildlife in the adjacent park and surrounding protected areas, reflecting a broader community commitment to preserving dark skies for future visitors and residents." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
