Turn on 700 West and head south past the airport. Go around the airport and keep heading south. There will be signs that say Warner Valley, eventually. Once you get a little ways into the valley the hills of Sand Hollow hide a lot of the glare from Hurricane and hills to the west hide much of the glare from St. George. It’s a wide-open valley, lots of sky. Past the airport the road turns to gravel, but it’s one of the those “highway” gravel roads. You need to watch for a few dips, but I have been out in the area several times and routinely drive 40-50mph on the road. Don’t try to make it into the valley from the St. George side. There some big sand dunes you have to negotiate and most cars won’t make it through. Another thing, not that many people would go out there at night, so car lights should not be a problem. Almost all cars would be from the Hurricane side, not the St. George side. They can’t get through the dunes. Dave On [Aug 5], at [Aug 5] 11:25 AM, Robert Taylor Photo wrote:
I have a request from an astronomer coming in from L.A and he'll be in the Hurricane area. Anyone know of a good observing site in that area?
