Scott I have not found any site east of PHX until you get in the mountains that is as good as the Antennas. You have to get more than 100 miles away from PHX to get any kind of dark sky. I live in east Mesa and it is 125 miles to the Antennas site, there fore I stay there at least 3 or more nights.

I spent a few hours at Antennas last night. Nice site, obviously! But I live in the East Valley and it's a long haul out there. Frederickson's Meadow is even farther and not an option except in summer. Anyone familiar with Antenna-similar sites EAST of phoenix that are appropriate in a) winter and b) summer? I am aware of the Picketpost Trailhead site near Superior.
