In 2019 Helper received its International Dark Sky Communities designation. To be designated as a dark sky community demonstrates community support for the program and that the community will practice responsible lighting to ensure that there is minimal light pollution. The result is a magnificent view of the star-scape that naturally lights the night sky above Helper.
An active local volunteer group regularly hosts astronomy programs and special events that invite locals and visitors alike to take a moment and enjoy the view. But amazing views can be seen on almost any clear night from our popular stargazing locations, like this one nestled above Helper, allowing a view of the sky from above the residential and town lighting.
The cache: At this stage you will see a plaque about Castle Gate Cemetery.
