Diamond Mountain Retreat Center, located in southeastern Arizona, has been officially designated as a DarkSky Lodging facility. Nestled in the remote foothills of the Chiricahua Mountains, Diamond Mountain spans over 1,000 acres of wilderness near Fort Bowie National Monument, Chiricahua National Monument, and the ghost town of Dos Cabezas. The retreat center offers exceptional dark sky education opportunities, introducing the nocturnal wildlife that share this landscape. Visitors learn to respect the natural rhythms of these animals as they migrate or contribute to the ecosystem through pollination. As stewards of over 1,000 acres, Diamond Mountain is committed to preserving the land’s natural character. With most of the global population now living in cities, this environment offers rare access to natural darkness—for both wildlife and human well-being. Monthly educational programs welcome the public, giving local schools and community members the chance to observe the night sky and learn about the ecological systems that sustain it.
