More Dark Skies Ahead

Utah continues to lead the world in designated dark sky places. At last count, DarkSky International had certified 27 Utah cities that successfully navigated its rigorous approval process. RadioACTive talks with Diana Davidson of Bluff, UT, which will celebrate with a Dark Sky Festival in the fall.

  • According to DarkSky International, to ensure and protect dark sky preservation, Bluff adopted an exterior lighting ordinance to ensure that homes and businesses use night-sky-friendly lighting. Additionally, the Bears Ears Partnership, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the natural and cultural landscapes of Bears Ears National Monument, has agreed to provide at least two dark-sky educational programs per year, as well as conduct sky quality monitoring on a seasonal basis. 

  • VISIT: Dark Sky Festival | Nov. 14-15 | Bluff, Utah.
