"We wanted to spend New Years in a place we would never forget. So we hiked up a snowy slope, which towered above the Lauchernalp and gave us an amazing view of the Bietschorn Mountain.
The sky was perfectly clear and we were able to see numerous stars and constellations. As the clock struck midnight, firework shows commenced all around us showering the sky with golds, reds, blues, and greens.
We spent the rest of the night camping on top of the peak, providing us an incredible start to 2014."

Awakening to Mule Ears
Big Bend National Park is one of the biggest national parks, it’s even bigger than Rhode Island. Yet it’s also one of the least visited parks which means if you’re looking for solitude and incredible night skies – this is the place to be.
Great Wall Of Camping
Those seeking an “alternative” campspot can find rest for a night on the Great Wall of China near the town of Huanghuacheng.
Mt. Lassen Base Camp
A campspot nearly in the “shadows” of Mt. Lassen is the ideal resting point on a cold, full moon-lit night.
