SUMMER 2018 MARK MILLER SUBARU NEWSLETTER

A E V A LE

K R MA Hello Friends,

It’s me, Suba Bleu! As a full-time employee of Mark Miller Subaru, I get to travel Utah and spread Subaru Love to those who need it most. This past June, for example, I led a team of Mark Miller Subaru employees who delivered blankets and handwritten “letters of hope” to individuals receiving cancer treatment at local hospitals. Nothing is more profound than the feeling you get from helping others.

All-New Subaru Ascent by Craig Fitzgerald for Drive Magazine

Arriving in Summer 2018, the three-row Ascent is designed for families on the go.

For the latest all-new Subaru vehicle, engineers thought big. The Ascent not only provides Subaru drivers with a vehicle to grow into as their families and activities grow, it gives seven- and eight-passenger SUV buyers who may not have previously considered Subaru a reason to visit Mark Miller Subaru. Packed with the latest technology, the Ascent offers the confidence of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with the fuel efficiency of a 4-cylinder engine. And it never forgets that the passengers in the third row should enjoy the ride as much as those up front.

5. The turbocharged engine and Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) allow the Ascent to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

6. Cups and water bottles can be easily stored in all three rows thanks to a total of 19 cup holders.

7. The largest Subaru vehicle, the Ascent has room for up to

eight people, and plenty of cargo space for all your essentials.

8. The Ascent is equipped with the latest technology, including: - Standard EyeSight2 Driver Assist Technology for an extra set of eyes on the road, every time you drive - Standard SUBARU STARLINK3 Multimedia with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, plus available 8.0-inch touch-screen 9. Second-row captain’s chairs or bench seating are available.

10. Air vents, USB ports and reading lights are available to all

passengers, offering convenience regardless of which row you’re sitting in. “Nobody is going to be jealous of anybody else in the vehicle,” says Tenn.

know where to start, make sure to visit Stansbury Park during one of their monthly stargazing parties. Stansbury Park is owned and operated by the Salt Lake Astronomical Society and during their monthly stargazing parties, amateur astronomers will set up their telescopes to let viewers check out the moon, planets and other wonders in the sky.

One of the telescopes, the Clements, is thought to be the largest amateur-made optical telescope on Earth that is regularly available for use by the public.

Emigration Canyon

Natural Bridges National Monument

MARK MILLER SUBARU’S Top 9 Stargazing Spots in Utah

If you’re looking for a quick stargazing trip, just head about 5 miles up Emigration Canyon, and set up along one of the many pull-outs along the road. You’ll get some light pollution from the valley, but this is a great location to watch for meteors and identify constellations.

Bonneville Salt Flats

Natural Bridges National Monument Imagine sitting out on a warm, moonless, summer night looking through a massive natural bridge where it’s possible to see up to 15,000 stars throughout the sky. That is a lot of Stars! Lucky for us, Natural Bridges National Monument has made protecting its dark sky a priority. On March 6th, 2007, Natural Bridges National Monument became the first International Dark Sky Park certified by the International Dark-Sky Association. The goal of a Dark Sky Park is to preserve the skies and educate the public about light pollution and how they can make a difference.

Cedar Breaks Come and enjoy the stunning river of light formed by the milky way at Cedar Breaks, Astronomy Programs (aka “Star Parties”) throughout the summer. Cedar Breaks is the first in Southwestern Utah and 16th of the 417 National Park Service units to be designated as an International Dark Sky Park. And In 2016 readers of USA Today voted Cedar Breaks as the "Best National Park Night Experience."

Arches National Park If you are like most people and live in or near a city, you may be surprised by how dark a moonless night at the Arches National Park can be. As you drive away from the glow of urban settlement, a wealth of stars becomes available for the naked eye to see.

On a clear night, you can see hundreds of stars from just about anywhere in the park.

However, if you would like our recommendation, try stargazing from these points: • Balanced Rock Picnic Area • The Windows • Garden of Eden Viewpoint • Panorama Point Bryce Canyon National Park Bryce Canyon National Park has some of the most astonishing and captivating views of the night sky. The park is so dark that on a moonless night you can see up to 5,000 stars with your naked eye and maybe 200,000 with standard binoculars! With claims from National Parks services “that Venus and Jupiter are bright enough to make you cast a shadow!", there is no time to waste! Visit Bryce Canyon today!

Just drive West on I-80, and you’ll enter the deserted, 30,000 acres of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Salt Flats offers a break from city light pollution and with its low horizons, you’ll have a phenomenal view of the wide open skies.

Lake Powell When you visit Lake Powell late July to mid-August, you’ll find yourself in the perfect spot to catch some of the best meteor showers in Utah. Away from major light pollution from any busy cities, It doesn’t get any better than looking up into the beautiful star-filled night sky from a boat in the middle of a serene lake.

Antelope Island When you stargaze on Antelope Island you’ll feel bad for your friends in Salt Lake City missing out. While they are going to sleep on a skimpy diet of 200 stars, you’re overindulging on the 1,500 stars visible from the west side of the island. Antelope island is the ninth park in the state of Utah to be recognized as a International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Park Associations. As the biggest Island in the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island has a Lot of Natural Beauty to offer both In the skies and below.
