Where is the best stargazing in Washington?
There are many places to enjoy the night sky in Washington, whether you simply step outside your back door and look up to the heavens or rent a remote cabin in the woods with glorious nighttime views. Here are a few places to enjoy the best stargazing in Washington:
- Mount Rainier National Park: This gorgeous national park is always a spectacular place to enjoy the night sky. It is also classified as an official Dark Sky Park. If you are looking for the best places to go stargazing in the park, meet up with the Paradise Night Skies Program. It is a group of star lovers that meet at the Jackson Visitor Center in Paradise, WA for weekend stargazing sessions. There is something magical about seeing the dense light-filled Milky Way over Mount Rainier.
- Stone Creek Lodge, Ashford, WA: While you are visiting Mt. Rainier National Park you might want to look into staying in one of the cozy cabins at Stone Creek Lodge. They are a little bit of rustic heaven, while you gaze up at the heavens. If you are looking for a romantic getaway under the stars, it doesn't get much more awe-inspiring than soaking in a hot tub under the stars while surrounded by the quiet beauty of a national park.
- Cliff Park, Spokane, WA: If seeing the ghostly luminescence of an Aurora Borealis is high on your bucket list head to Spokane. Spokane is blessed with a couple of nice Northern Lights viewing spots like Cliff Park and Mount Spokane. Your best chance of spotting the Northern Lights is around midnight when the skies are clear and there is no artificial light present. While Dark Sky Parks and remote areas are your best bet for spotting these natural luminous spectacles, it is nice to know that it is still possible to see them right here in Eastern Washington.
Pretty much any national or state park will treat you to excellent stargazing opportunities. Here are a few little-known state parks in Washington that should give you incredible views of the stars. Simply rent an RV and head out on a stargazing adventure across our beautiful state.
