You could try Pinal Peak. A group of us observed from there a few years
back, fairly good. It is a little further than 1 hour, but not much.
Drive into globe then up the mountian, you can get to about 7000ft.
There are some open spots around the radio gear up top, get to the top
during daylight so you can find a spot.
I centered the topozone link on the spot we used on the south facing
slope...
