Petrified Forest – Colorado Plateau Night Sky T-Shirt

Petrified Forest National Park was established as an International Dark Sky Park in 2018. By replacing the old light fixtures and light bulbs, the park protects a naturally dark-sky without artificial light domes impeding on the landscape.

Natural dark skies are important to maintain a healthy ecosystem for the nocturnal species found in the park. The darkest places in the park fall under Class 3 on the Bortel scale and offer spectacular views of the Milky Way Galaxy and other hidden celestial objects.

Celebrate our dark skies and those of the Colorado Plateau with this glow-in-the-dark night sky over Petrified Forest’s landscape on the front of the t-shirt. On the back, you’ll find a list of all the Dark Sky Parks found on the Colorado Plateau.
