I live in Salt Lake City, UT - any recommendations as to where I should watch the Leonid Meteor Shower?
So tomorrow night is our opportunity to see the Leonids - several dozen meteors per hour, they say...
Is there someone from Salt Lake or from Utah who can make a recommendation to me? I was thinking that Guardsman Pass would be ideal, but it's been snowing lately and the road officially closed a few weeks ago... I know there have to be a ton of places where I can escape light pollution and get a good view of as much of the sky as possible -- but where do you recommend?
Should I drive west on 80 and find a place to pull off in the salt flats? Should I drive south on 15 and find a place there? Or should I head out past Park City on or near 40 and find a place up at a higher elevation?
I decided I'm going to drive west on 80 and go into the desert...
