If you are looking for the absolute best place in Oklahoma to watch the night sky, you need to add Black Mesa to your bucket list.
In this episode of the Only in OK Show, Brett and Harley take you to the furthest corner of the Oklahoma Panhandle to celebrate a historic milestone: Black Mesa State Park has officially become Oklahoma’s first International Dark Sky Park!
We dive into what it took to achieve this prestigious designation from DarkSky International and why "nocturnal heritage" is the next big thing for Oklahoma tourism. From removing "islands of light" to protecting the biological rhythms of bighorn sheep and mountain lions, discover why Black Mesa is now a premier global destination for astrotourism.
