City of Rocks National Reserve is one of my favorite bucket-list-worthy destinations in Idaho. No matter the time of year, exploring this area of the state is the ultimate adventure. But, now there is a new reason to visit. City of Rocks National Reserve is the newest International Dark Sky Park in Idaho and it is the perfect place to visit this summer.
For more information about the City of Rocks National Reserve, visit the National Park Service website.
