![]() ![]() This October, Yosemite Conservancy naturalists invite you to experience the magic of Yosemite after sunset. Starry skies are vital not only for their scenic beauty, but also for their critical value to plants and animals that rely on natural light cycles. The National Park Service recognizes night skies as a natural resource, especially as light pollution diminishes darkness around the globe. And if you look up, you’ll see a light show that rivals the majesty of the park’s granite walls, waterfalls and soaring sequoias: stars glimmering in a deep, dark sky. On autumn evenings in Yosemite Valley, you might spy climbers’ headlamps twinkling on El Capitan, see bats winging by, or hear owls hooting softly from unseen branches. Yosemite’s beauty doesn’t rest when the sun sets! Stars dazzle in the dark skies, as nocturnal wildlife forage and hunt below.
