When the sun goes down in Western Colorado, there is no shortage of places that offer an incredible view of the night sky. Have you ever watched the stars come out from Highline Lake State Park? The Highline Lake State Park Star Party brings together local stargazers and the Western Colorado Astronomy Club for an evening of telescope viewing and astronomy lessons. It’s a public astronomy event where guests are invited to Highline Lake for a star-gazing lesson from the Western Colorado Astronomy Club. Highline Lake is far enough from the city lights of Fruita and Grand Junction, which creates better viewing conditions.
