Did the recent supermoon have you dancing in the moonlight? 🌕

Parks are a great place to enjoy the starry night. In fact, nighttime views and environments are among the critical park features the National Park Service protects. Night sky protection enhances qualities of solitude and undeveloped wilderness character that animals depend on for survival, park visitors seek for connections, and many cultural-historical parks require for preservation.

Have you looked up at a full moon while visiting or camping in a park?
