Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
If you’re a fan of the night sky, you must feel pretty lucky to live in the Midwest. The skies here are naturally pretty dark, thanks to our relatively remote and lesser-populated areas, and Indiana is no exception. In fact, we think Indiana could be the best state in the Midwest for stargazing, but we also might be biased (nah). There are several dark sky parks in Indiana – some are official “Dark Sky” certified places, but others are simply dark and perfect for looking up into the heavens. For example, Tippecanoe State Park is not “officially” a dark sky zone, but it might as well be. Spend the night at this stunning Indiana state park and make sure to look up – you’ll be dazzled by what you see.
Need more information about planning your epic trip to Tippecanoe River State Park? No worries – check out the official Indiana DNR Website for all the info and details you’ll need.
