Oregon is now home to the largest Dark Sky Sanctuary in the world, but found in a remote corner of the state, some people may be left wondering how, exactly, to explore it.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we break down this 2.5 million acre swath of southern Oregon, highlighting some of the best places there to go stargazing/

While remote, this part of the state features some truly breathtaking scenery, as well as amenities like hot springs, campgrounds and a historic fire lookout that offer special kinds of cosmic getaways.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

Hart Mountain is a rugged high desert destination with a relaxing hot spring campground.
Summer Lake Hot Springs is an incredible place to soak under the stars.
The Drake Peak Lookout is a great rental – if you can snag a reservation.
Lakeview is the biggest town inside the sanctuary, and a good place to stock up on supplies.
