UTAH’S DARK SKIES
Industry Partners,
In collaboration and celebration with Governor Cox declaring April 2021 Utah Dark Sky Month, the Utah Office of Tourism has built a toolkit with dark sky-related resources and assets for you to utilize and share throughout this month and beyond.

Preserving dark skies helps communities establish long lasting tourism economies and keeps our places forever mighty. Utah State Parks, our national parks and community partners have shown tremendous leadership and vision in preserving the night sky throughout the state.” – Vicki Varela, managing director of the Utah Office of Tourism
