I like to go to a spot in the national forest to the south of the
Monument... was last there for the Leonids. It is just off of one of the
fs roads past Onion saddle. About 15 miles drive from the forest entrance
next to the Monument gate, and at 8,333 ft.
advantages: no headlights, no fees, no problem camping, spectacular view
day+night
disadvantages: 15 miles on dirt roads, no facilities, must tote equipment
by hand up the last couple hundred feet to get in the clear.
Let me know if you are interested, and I can look up the coordinates on
the map.
