Oregon has been abuzz with dark sky news lately. Over the last few years, we’ve seen announcements of new Dark Sky Parks, Dark Sky Communities and the biggest Dark Sky Sanctuary in the world — all in our own backyard.

According to Travel Oregon, the new designations aren’t just for bragging rights, they’re part of an effort to juice #astrotourism, attracting visitors with the promise of a good look at the stars, planets, meteor showers and other #astronomical events.

As Oregon’s new Dark Sky country takes shape, it’s high time for a guide to the sprawling area and numerous designations.  Link in bio for the full guide.
