Zion
Zion is a great place to connect with the night sky, whether you are an avid astrophotographer or this will be your first view of the Milky Way. As an International Dark Sky Park, Zionu00a0protects our incredible dark skiesu00a0for present and future generations by not degrading the night with artificial light. This means that after sunset, the park is very dark. Be prepared!
