I FLY OFTEN FOR BUSINESS.

Yesterday, I had three bags to check.

I said, “I’d like this bag to go to New Orleans, this one to Seattle, and the third to Chicago.”

The gate agent rolled her eyes and said, “We can’t do that!”

I said, “Why not? You did it last week.”

Greater Palm Springs, California's Two International Dark Sky Parks

Greater Palm Springs in southern California offers not one but TWO International Dark Sky-designated areas to enjoy. Both offer different daytime and camping experiences, too. Joshua Tree National Park, an International Dark Sky Park, offers the alien-like joshua trees and incredible rock formations, which both create a lovely setting for any stargazing experiences.

The lesser-known Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, on the other hand, offers 650,000 acres of desert to explore, making it the largest desert state park in the continental United States. Pre-historic rock paintings, the Wind Caves and Mud Caves, Coyote Canyon and Shell Reef are on display during the day, while at night, the International Dark Sky Community's low levels of light pollution make for breathtaking night views.

Channel Islands National Park, California

Channel Islands National Park in southern California is a collection of biologically diverse islands and a marine sanctuary located just off the coast, earning its nickname "The Galapagos of North America." That being said, it remains one of the least visited national parks in our nation and offers some of the lowest levels of light pollution among the national parks. Camping is available year-round on its five islands and offers incredible stargazing opportunities, in addition to daytime activities like whale watching, surfing, bird watching, hiking and learning about the islands' history, which boasts some of the oldest traces of human history in North America, dating back 13,000 years.
