When it comes to dark sky parks in Texas, none compare to Big Bend Ranch State Park. This far West Texas gem boasts some of the darkest night skies on earth, and its vast and rugged landscape will take you lightyears away from the fast-paced modern world.
Visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife website for more information about Big Bend Ranch State Park, including current hours and entrance fees. You can also find the park on Facebook.
