Park to Park in the Dark is Nevada’s first astrotourism route that connects two International Dark Sky Parks, Death Valley National Park and Great Basin National Park.

The new Park to Park in the Dark tourism route supports Nevada’s efforts to preserve its dark skies and promote nighttime outdoor recreation.

A dedicated team of individuals and organizations has been working together on this tri-county endeavor since January 2020. This is a stellar model of collaboration and partnerships with Tourism and Recreation Boards, Chambers of Commerce, Non-Profit Organizations, Land Management Agencies and the National Park Service.

Nevada is home to some really, REALLY wide open spaces. That means no cell service sometimes and long stretches
of highway with no gas stations, and yep, no restrooms. So please always be prepared for these conditions.
