Copper Breaks State Park, State park and Dark Sky sanctuary in Hardeman County, United States.
The 1,898-acre park features two lakes, copper-colored cliffs, mesas, and 10 miles of trails through rolling hills in north Texas.
Native American tribes, including Comanche and Kiowa peoples, inhabited this land before the park's establishment and public opening in 1974.
Monthly star parties from April through October allow visitors to gather with astronomers who share telescopes for night sky exploration.
