I would love to visit all these places but Utah is first for sure.
I love the view of the mountains behind 57 Robbers Roost and La Casa del Zorro Resort looks so beautiful. I’ve never stargazed before but this post is definitely making me want to. Thanks for sharing ♥

The last time I went stargazing was back in high school. It was that long ago. And, I remember that it rained earlier that day so the night skies were a little hazy and there weren’t much stars. I would definitely want to go stargazing soon and I’ve bookmarked your post for one of my future trips.
Moab is such a great place for outdoor activities! I love the place you are highlighting and would highly recommend that anyone looking for an off the beaten path place to get in touch with nature get to Moab. So beautiful.
The best stargazing I’ve ever done was at Lake Powell one summer, several years ago. The shooting stars were amazing!
Every one of these places is speaking to me saying—-you have to go there–It would be so nice to actually be able to star gaze without lights and pollution making the stars all but invisible.
Wow I need to visit all of these places. Being able to relax and stare up at the stars would be so nice.
What a great list! Moab Utah is for sure on the top for me. Anywhere where you can get far away from the city lights is amazing!
omg going on a star gazing trip would be amazing!!!!! And very romantic! I need to plan one with hubby!
These both look like beautiful locations to sit outside at night to see the stars. It has been a long time since I have been able to do that. It would be a fun experience with my kids too.
We’ve just been talking about where we can go stargazing. We’ll have to check these places out!
I love when we are able to go stargazing anywhere that we travel!! These are great locations!
These are are some amazing stargazing destinations indeed for the family. I would totally love to go to the Adobe-style B&B is on Sedona Golf Resort . It looks totally relaxing and that is so what I need. Thanks for sharing.
Great list and pictures. I’ve only been to Sedonna. The color of the mountains there is fantastic!
These are awesome pictures and that view is amazing. I’ve never been to Utah, but I’ve heard time and time again about how beautiful and scenic it is. I hope to visit one day with my family.
Great pictures! I would love to be relaxing on vacation at any one of these locations!
I’ve never heard of this place before. Sounds like a beautiful place to visit!
Thank you for the recommendations! Stargazing has always been one of my favorite pastimes.
These places exudes in both elegance and comfort. It would be really nice to refresh yourself in these places.
