I would recommend Wolf Creek Summit. Here's a link to directions: http://www.uvaa.org/sitedirections/WolfCreek.html I'm also CC'ing the utah astronomy list to see if anyone closer to Ogden has other/better recommendations or are perhaps closer to where you are staying. Also check out slas.us website for upcoming star party info.

I am a low light, star trail and night photographer. I was wondering if you could suggest me places where there is minimum light pollution in the sky around Ogden (<200 miles). I wanted to shoot some snaps of the milky way and may be some star trails. A camping area with no tall trees and some canyons at a distance is perfect. Also, please let me know the details of the next star party. Thank you, Hemanth. -- Hemanth K. Nallagatla Phone: (864) 633 9009
