Ok, thanks Craig. I have a national parks pass (Joshua Tree National Park is my local dark sky location) so that shouldn't be a problem. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Craig Smith Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2011 7:57 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] What to watch out for near St. George Technically you have to pay a $25 7-day pass to the entire park, but the entrance is not gated; there is a visitor's center there that you are supposed to stop at and purchase your pass.

Thanks for the info Debbie. I will have a hotel room in St. George so I won't spend the whole night either. I will be sure to bring some TP though!

I have never had to pay a fee in the 2 years I've been going to this site. There is no camping there but nobody is going to bother you if you sleep in your car. I've never stayed the whole night up there because it is a short 40 miles home. I'll give a report if I go up there in about a week. I have to get some fishing in before I turn into an astronomer. There is also a pit toilet but I bring my own TP just in case.

Hi All,
I'm still planning an astronomy outing on my next trip to St George and am favoring Debbie's suggested Kolob site about 40 miles to the north. Is there anything I should know about the site before heading out, such as fees, overnight parking/camping, pests (both human and non-human)? Thanks for your help!
Craig
