International Dark Sky Park Community Celebration

Sinks Canyon State Park and the Wind River Visitors Council host a Community Celebration to recognize Sinks Canyon State Park’s recent designation as an International Dark Sky Park, which is the first designation of its kind in Wyoming.

This National Travel and Tourism Week event takes place on Saturday, May 25 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Sinks Canyon State Park Visitor Center, located at 3018 Sinks Canyon Road. The evening will include a talk about why we need dark skies and how this designation was achieved. There will also be a constellation tour. Appetizers and beverages will be provided. Please bring a chair and a flashlight, but leave your dog(s) at home. There will also be an informational table about Lander-South Pass City’s Continental Divide Trail Gateway Community Designation.
