Magee Homestead sits at nearly 7,000 feet with neighboring mountain ranges reaching 12,000 feet. With no major towns or cities nearby, our night skies are some of the darkest and best in the world for star gazing. Scoring a 1-2 on the Bortel Dark Sky Scale, you can view the Milky Way with the naked eye in vibrant brilliance stretching from horizon to horizon throughout the night. Mars and Jupiter outshine even the brightest stars in the sky during the summer months as these gleaming planets shine light down across the prairie landscape. Astronomers and Astrologers alike won’t find a more beautiful place to view the nighttime heavens.
