Best Location for a Zion Stargazing Tour
At Stargazing Zion, the location is carefully chosen to be far away from light pollution while still embracing the unique landscape of the desert. The site is at one of the best locations for stargazing in Southern Utah on the western boundary of Zion National Park at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This spot provides a different perspective since the sky is more open and you can see silhouettes of the rock formations. Most of Zion’s attractions are in the canyon below and provide a more obstructed view of the sky, making the location above the canyon better for viewing the stars. Nestled in a quaint setting, a 10-minute walk down the trail from the parking lot, this pristine environment truly encapsulates a nighttime desert experience away from everything else!
Education and Technology for Viewing Stars
With the combination of high-end technology and professional astronomers and guides, Stargazing Zion provides a high-quality educational experience. Astronomers set up telescopes, such as the Unistellar eVscope and provide Celestron Outland X Binoculars for every person to showcase the wonders of the sky, including nebulae, star clusters, and planets. Occasionally, depending on the timing, you might see the International Space Station (ISS) or Starlink satellites gliding across the sky and learn about how technology and space have overlapped in modern society. Besides viewing planets and learning about the universe, each stargazing tour includes stories about ancient civilizations, the history of astronomy and the evolution of our universe. For anyone interested in astrotourism in Utah, this Zion stargazing experience will be intellectually stimulating and leave you in awe!
Utah’s Dark Sky: A Stargazer’s Paradise
One of the main reasons you should choose a stargazing tour in Zion is because Utah has some of the darkest skies in the country. It’s an absolutely stunning location for stargazing enthusiasts or anyone interested in viewing the night sky. Zion National Park is known as an International Dark Sky Park because of minimal light pollution, clear skies and high elevation. This recognition also shows Zion’s commitment to preserving its natural landscapes and protecting the night sky. Zion is a hub for astrotourism in Utah and should be on your list of places to visit for stargazing and everything else Zion has to offer.
The Best Evening Activity in Zion
Besides dining out, camping, or enjoying live music or events in Zion, we’re in the desert—so there isn’t too much going on here at night. That’s why the best thing to do in Zion at night is to get outside and enjoy the stars- the best show in the Southern Utah desert! Take advantage of your time in the darkest skies in the United States and enjoy the best stargazing spot in Utah for a night of learning about space and viewing the stars.
