I’m looking for a short list of the best places in the West (California, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Hawaii, and Alaska) for the novice or family to go stargazing. Any ideas? These places should be fairly accessible to the average family and offer facilities or programs for the stargazing beginner/novice. These places can be observatories, national parks, dark but accessible regions, star parties/events, etc.
Second, I’m looking for a longer list of places specifically for California.
Finally, are there any important astronomical events happening in January or February that novices should know about (Mars, meteor shower, etc.)?
Thank you for your ideas!!
