The stargazing must have been incredible.

It was, but of course the moon prevented a really dark sky viewing. I remember an incredible night in Badlands National Park during another family road trip about 10 years ago. It was a moonless night and there were lots of telescopes. The milky way was very detailed. We don't get those views back east.

I am going to get my daughter a telescope for Christmas. She is always asking me "Daddy can we look at the stars" so I want to feed that curiosity. If she really gets into it maybe when she is a bit older we will take a trip like yours and we can go really see some stars. We get much more where we live now than we did in the city but still not a lot.

I have always had a telescope. My daughter still enjoys astronomy. We support a local small observatory.
I would have liked to pay a visit to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, but we don't have time.
