I saw a surprising amount of people doing bicycle touring on the drive in and out. You gotta have nerves of steel to do that on the shoulder of US 90.

The skies are unreal, it was a big reason I wanted to visit. If memory serves, the park is the darkest location in the lower 48 (around 300 miles from the nearest city- El Paso). As a urban dweller, being able to see the milky way with the naked eye never ceases to blow my mind.
