For anyone interested, Great Basin National Park in Eastern Nevada is a fantastic place to visit for dark skies at night and wonderful trails during the day. They have an annual astronomy festival [1] and on weekends with new moons there are several telescopes set up for public stargazing.
I've been there several times over the years and the dichotomy between lush sky island of the mountains and the seemingly lifeless desert of the Great Basin below never fails to impress.
