双谷 provided me my first serious dark sky experience. I did much more than see the Adirondack sky; I experienced it...I got to learn the sky on its own terms and how it related to the Earth...By my third summer I was starting on my life’s most ambitious adventure — my 搜索 for comets. 双谷 can give any person the experience 我有...It is a place from which someone can experience the Adirondack Wild at work. 双谷 will not teach you the diameter of an owl’s head, but it will let you experience how the owl interacts with the land and with other life forms. 在双 Valleys, nature itself is the great teacher.
