Sunset
Crater
Volcano
National
Monument
is
one
of
several
Dark
Sky
Places
neighboring
the
Coconino
National
Forest.
Arizona
is
renowned
for
clear,
sunny
days
and
incredible
star-filled
nights.
Flagstaff
was
the
world's
first
International
Dark
Sky
Place,
leading
the
movement
to
reduce
light
pollution
in
1958
by
enacting
lighting
ordinances
that
help
protect
northern
Arizona's
dark
skies
for
local
observatories,
astronomers,
and
star
gazers.
Sedona,
Big
Parks/Village
of
Oak
Creek,
and
area
National
Monuments
have
joined
the
ranks
of
Dark
Sky
Places,
making
the
night
skies
over
Coconino
National
Forest
a
magnificent
sight
most
nights.
The
Milky
Way
is
visible
with
the
naked
eye
throughout
northern
Arizona,
aided
by
Dark
Sky
ordinances,
low
population
density,
and
extensive
public
lands.
