Dark Skies

The Friends of Agua Fria National Monument (FAFNM) is currently working with the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) to request designation of the Agua Fria National Monument to be recognized as a Dark Sky Park.

The application process for Dark Sky Park certification takes 2-3 years to complete and requires recording of Dark Sky qualities, community education, and park resource planning.
