Amazing Skies Await
Far from the glow of city lights, the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve offers an unforgettable stargazing experience. With exceptionally dark skies and minimal light pollution, it's one of the best places in North America to admire the Milky Way, constellations, and celestial events throughout the year.
Recognized with the International Dark-Sky Association's Gold Tier designation, the reserve represents the highest standard of night sky quality and is one of the world's premier destinations for experiencing the beauty of the night sky.
Hotel Ketchum is proud to support dark sky preservation through responsible outdoor lighting while providing complimentary stargazing equipment to help guests make the most of every clear night.
