In short, my experience in Chile was breathtaking. The Atacama Desert night skies were absolutely incredible compared to what ...

Amazing night skies over Delicate Arch from none other than Arches National Park in Utah! Experiencing the night sky in southern Utah was on my bucket list for a while.
