Five-star lodging may be the pinnacle of a holiday escape for some, but Mont-Mégantic National Park, just under three hours away from Montreal, is offering new peak accommodations with a thousand-star view. Stargazers and backpackers alike can revel in 26 new mini-chalets that grant access to 15 km of trails in the northwest sector of the park, featuring the spectacular Franceville rock crest and a stunning view of the Ruisseau de la Montagne valley.
Highlights of the best locations for astrophotography and skywatching worldwide including practical information to make your stargazing trip a success.
Each month the International Dark-Sky Association features an IDA Advocate from the worldwide network of volunteers working to protect the night. This month we’re highlighting the work of Rémi Boucher in Canada.
