I observed out there many years ago, with park rangers permission. The sky is not any better but the horizons are fantastic, it is a little like observing a lot further south than Utah is. I highly recommend the site. It is well over 10,000 ft and everything south is at about 5,000 ft elevation. If it is stormy I doubt you want to be out there. There is also no chance of visitors as there is a locked gate about 10 miles from the site.
Yes, you should register in advance and book camping or hotel in advance. I think the conference is generally held where there are more hotel rooms available. do we have to register for the event or just show up? I see they are
observing at Rainbow Point. Is the seeing better there?
