When I viewed Mars last night from my backyard, it was quite high above the horizon. Sent from my iPhone

I had some success watching Neowise from Neptune Park in Saratoga Springs. I don't know if still air would be a problem or not. There are some lights which could be a problem.

Hi Folks,
Planning to invite a few friends to join me for Mars viewing on Saturday night.
Anyone think of any place closer to Orem or Lehi than Camp Flloyd Cemetary that would likely have reasonably still air and a relatively low eastern horizon?
The trailhead parking area where we've done star parties for Timp Cave has good south exposure, IIRC--good for Saturn and Jupiter. I'm not sure about how long it would be before Mars would clear the mountains and be high enough that you'd not be dealing with awful turbulence.
Suggestions welcomed. Happy to have more scopes available for anyone who might be interested too--I'll be wearing a mask, if you come, please do (keeps your nose warm anyway).
John
