  "summary": "Bortle 1 prairie skies. One of the darkest places accessible by car in North America.",
  "intro": "Grasslands National Park protects Canada's last stretch of untouched mixed-grass prairie, and its Dark-Sky Preserve designation is almost redundant — with no towns for many kilometres in any direction, the Frenchman Valley area delivers a true Bortle 1 horizon-to-horizon sky. This is as close as the Prairies get to a planetarium ceiling.",
  "established": null,
  "drivingFromToronto": "Fly into Regina, then drive about 3 hours south-west to the West Block near Val Marie.",
  "bestTime": "Late summer through autumn — dry prairie air gives exceptional transparency, and the park runs occasional public astronomy events.",
  "highlights": [
    "Canada's last remaining tract of untouched mixed-grass prairie",
    "Bortle 1 skies with a 360° horizon and zero nearby light domes",
    "Frenchman Valley Campground sits right in the darkest part of the park"
  ],
  "tips": [
    "Park entry fee applies",
    "Gravel access roads — check conditions before and after rain",
    "No services inside the park; fuel up in Val Marie"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Full Milky Way arch, zodiacal light, and exceptional meteor shower visibility given the total lack of horizon obstruction.",
