Utah's Dark Sky Passport

By Utah State University, Institute of Outdoor Recreation & Tourism

Explore Utah's many certified Dark Sky Places, connect with the cosmos, and complete activities in this Dark Sky Passport. For each Dark Sky Place you visit: Describe your experience, stamp your passport, and share your visit with others! 

Dark Sky Places are parks, communities, and other areas committed to keeping night skies naturally dark by using “night-friendly” outdoor lighting pointing downward and away from neighbors.

Utah has more certified Dark Sky Places than any other state as recognized by "DarkSky International", with 11 National Park units, 10 State Parks, 2 Communities, and 1 County Park.

Utah is famous for its spectacular landscapes, an abundance of public land, and amazing dark skies. With good weather, the night skies can cover you in a blanket of stars. Many National and State Parks have astronomy programs that teach about the wonders of the night sky.
