Stargazing in New Mexico

As you are making plans for summer vacation, why not head for New Mexico? Not only is it one of my all time favorite states, but there is one more lure to attract visitors in addition to its rich multicultural and historical setting. Chaco Culture National Historical Park has been designated as an International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA), making it a premier site for stargazing. Located northwest of the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area, it is accessible by dirt roads, but the rugged trek is well worth it.
