Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument is a lesser-known but equally captivating destination for stargazers. Its remote location on the Arizona Strip provides some of the darkest skies in the country. The monument's vast and rugged terrain, free from the encroachment of urban light, offers a pristine environment for night sky observation. Visitors can explore the monument's canyons and mesas by day and marvel at the stars by night. The monument's commitment to preserving its natural darkness makes it a vital sanctuary for both wildlife and stargazers alike.
