Death Valley's Gold Tier Dark Sky Park status recognizes its exceptional natural darkness despite proximity to Las Vegas.

Winter star parties and astronomy programs attract enthusiasts to experience some of America's darkest accessible skies.
Certified International Dark Sky Park featuring North America's lowest elevation and dramatic desert landscapes under pristine skies.
