Why Central Oregon Is the Best Place to Stargaze in Oregon by Visit Central Oregon
Are you an astrotourist? While the word might make you think of futuristic travelers jetting off in a spaceship to the stars, astrotourism is actually an experience you can have right here, right now, on Earth.
In fact, you might already be an astrotourist. On a past visit to Central Oregon, have you noticed that the stars shine extra brightly from our dark skies? Have you and your family stepped outside of your cozy lodging and gazed up at the Milky Way or the full moon glinting from the heavens? Or maybe you’ve made a special trip to the Oregon Observatory at the Sunriver Nature Center or the Hopservatory at Worthy Brewing Company. If so, you, my friend, are an astrotourist.
