Colorado Stargazing Trail

The Colorado Tourism Office points visitors toward developed and dispersed camping near Miramonte Reservoir, Busted Arm Draw and the Thunder Road trail system. It also directs visitors to the Norwood Dark Sky Advocates for local astronomy events.[2]

Visit Norwood

Visit Norwood says, “Norwood is Western Colorado’s first dark sky community.”[3]

Its astronomy guidance says stargazing is possible across Wright's Mesa, with particularly dark skies near Lone Cone Peak and Miramonte Reservoir. The local Dark Sky Community page also describes Norwood Dark Sky Advocates as a volunteer group working to protect the area's night skies and share astronomy with the community.[3]
