Natural Bridges National Monument

Natural Bridges National Monument was named the world’s first International Dark-Sky Park in 2007.

Natural Bridges has made protecting its dark sky a priority so that people can enjoy the stunning river of light formed by the Milky Way rising over Owachomo Bridge.

The goal of a Dark Sky Park is to preserve the skies and educate the public about light pollution and how they can make a difference.

Natural Bridges National Monument is supported by its member organization, Canyonlands Natural History Association (CNHA).
