The Milky Way over Rocky Mountain National Park.
Last week, Gov. Jared Polis announced that June is “Dark Sky Month” in Colorado. The state is already a global leader in preserving dark night skies.
This year alone, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Mesa Verde National Park and four mountain towns were recognized as dark sky places by the International Dark-Sky Association. With this designation, they join Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park.
While these remote locations are good at preserving their starry views, the cities on the Front Range release a significant amount of light pollution. The excess light negatively impacts nearby Rocky Mountain National Park’s night skies, as well as its wildlife.
