Expansion of Recreation Opportunities Planned for Browns Canyon National Monument

Browns Canyon National Monument was designated as an International Dark Sky Park by DarkSky International on December 16, 2024, becoming Colorado’s 18th International Dark Sky Place. This recognition reflects the efforts of Friends of Browns Canyon, in collaboration with federal agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, to reduce light pollution and preserve the natural night-time environment. DarkSky International commended the monument for its scenic beauty and recreational potential, highlighting the positive influence this designation could have on surrounding communities. Local organizations are planning to introduce new recreation options and educational programs to celebrate the Dark Sky status, emphasizing the area’s importance as a cultural site and a natural treasure.
