Without a doubt, the Four Corners region boasts the darkest of
skies. With little or no light pollution tainting our cosmos,
stargazing is about as effortless as it gets. On a clear night, the
Milky Way is visible from horizon to horizon, a spectacle seen in
only a few select places in the country. June is a great month to
catch four out of the five planets visible to the unaided eye.
Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury all congregate in the morning sky,
a sight not to be missed!
