Boasting some of the darkest nights in Southern California, Joshua Tree National Park, an International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), offers many visitors the chance to admire the Milky Way for the first time in their lives. On a clear night and moonless, you should have no problem viewing the stars from anywhere in the park. Have you enjoyed the night skies from a national park?
