Utah leads the world in designated dark sky places, and our state and national parks form the foundational footprint of dark sky protection. Learn more about the meteoric rise of dark sky programming and protection in Utah parks from Shelby Stock (Utah State Parks) and Cassidy Jones (National Parks Conservation Association). Our speakers will share their view of the key ingredients for dark sky success in Utah and highlight the importance of continued advocacy from International Dark Sky Association (IDA) members and supporters to keep Utah skies dark.

Author and historian Frederick Swanson will delve into the human stories behind the creation of Utah’s national parks and national monuments, showing how geologic marvels such as Rainbow Bridge, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches and Grand Staircase-Escalante emerged from obscurity to become worldwide travel destinations. We’ll meet a diverse and intriguing group of explorers, scientists, artists and writers who brought these masterpieces of sculptured rock to the attention of the outside world and called for their protection as part of our national park system. Come along as we ride through unknown canyons, scale lofty mesas and motor down dusty roads to discover what these early-day travelers encountered in the mysterious landscapes of the Colorado Plateau. Frederick H. Swanson is author and editor of five books on western U.S. history, including Dave Rust: A Life in the Canyons, which received the 2008 Utah Book Award. He is a fellow of the International League of Conservation Writers and recipient of the Wallace Stegner Prize in Environmental Humanities.
