What a treat! Last evening on our back deck in Colorado Springs, my young adult kiddos and I got to watch the sky put on a show — the northern lights were on rare form, dancing above us while we were gathered for our weekly family dinner. Gratitude doesn’t even begin to cover it. And guess what? The spectacle may continue this evening, so the cosmos might just invite you to watch again.
If you want to try your own sky-party, here are some of the best spots in the Springs region where city light pollution fades and the aurora gets a chance to sparkle:
-
Palmer Park – A high-ledge overlook with front-range views and less city glow.
-
North Cheyenne Cañon Park – Head up toward the canyon darkness for a clear northern horizon.
-
Garden of the Gods Park – With those iconic red rocks and open skies, it’s a dreamy backdrop for aurora-glow.
Bundle up, turn off your phone’s flashlight, lean back, and give the night sky a chance to show its magic.
Wishing you a beautiful “sky-moment” with someone you love,
Christine
