Thank you for the information. Here in st George it is actually hot. It's around 80 right now. I spent about an hour looking at the sun and Sent from my iPhone On Mar 29, 2013, at 12:49 PM, jcarman6@q.com wrote:

Cedar Breaks is 10,000 feet in elevation and they have regularly scheduled astronomical viewing of some sort in the summer, but I don't know the details. University of Southern Utah, located in Cedar City, has a Professor Sorensen, friend of Lowell Lyons, who was doing a monthly star party up there in the parking lot. That was a few years ago, but I'm sure he is still active. It should be a great place to view. Cedar City is a light bump to the west. I viewed the May "Ring of Fire" from Cedar Breaks. Normally they are not open that early. I'm sure they have a web site. Even if not at Cedar Breaks, there are a number of spots on the plateau that you can pull off the road and set up.
Oh, and by the way, the sky is terrific from there :)
