@utahisawesome: The Perseid meteor shower peaks the night of Aug. 12 into Aug. 13, and a new moon means dark skies for the show. Utah has some of the best stargazing in the country. Here are a few solid spots near Salt Lake: ⭒ Lost Creek State Park ⭒ Rockport State Park ⭒ Jordanelle State Park ⭒ Antelope Island ⭒ Pineview Reservoir Southern Utah has four International Dark Sky Parks and one Dark Sky Sanctuary: ⭒ Natural Bridges National Monument (the world's first International Dark Sky Park) ⭒ Canyonlands National Park ⭒ Hovenweep National Monument ⭒ Rainbow Bridge National Monument ⭒ Goosenecks State Park Get out after sunset, give your eyes 20 minutes to adjust, and skip the phone light. Bring layers, since it gets cold even in August! #utahdarkskies #perseidmeteorshower #utahthingstodo
