The park, which has been protecting its archaeological riches since it was established in 1907, is now protecting its views of the starry skies too. It has just been named as the International Dark-Sky Association's newest Dark Sky Park.   As a Gold-tier IDA Dark Sky Park, Chaco has shown its commitment to  preserving its near-pristine night skies. The park has adopted a set of  strict lighting guidelines that include the use of dark-sky friendly  lighting now and in the future, ensuring that it will do its part to  keep the nighttime environment natural and unspoiled for generations to  come.   Nice!
