Summer would be good. How cold does it get then? -- Joe
I need to convince you all to come to Fish Lake later in the summer, 9000 ft. paved no dust parking lot, flush restrooms, the best seeing around. Wayne Mountains do obscure the horizons however.

Bob,
I have observed several times from the top of the Skyline Drive. I have found the seeing to be ok, but not great. The wind is also usually always blowing. Overall I would rate this site as just above average. I have not tried farther north near Francis Peak.
