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…
Outdoors.
At night.
I’m asking myself the same question. I’m right in sugarhouse so I am just going to hope that the sky isn’t too disgusting and that I can actually see the sky. If i were driving somewhere I’d probably take the 215 to the exit for the canyons and then just park at any of the oversights. Good luck!
