Tonopah Star Trails
http://www.tonopahstartrails.com
Tonopah has some of the darkest skies in the country and is rated the #1 stargazing destination in America by USA Today. And the darker it gets, the more you can see. A brilliant 7,000 stars on clean, moonless nights, to be precise. Not to mention the magical, swirling Milky Way. You can even see stars as faint as magnitude +7.0, which is out of the question in most places.
