Another great time to visit is during the twice-yearly Star Parties held at Cherry Springs. Both events brings hundreds of professional astronomers to the area—and culminate in a public viewing event with high-powered telescopes and astronomy talks from experts. The first, the Cherry Springs Star Party, is held in June by the Astronomical Society of Harrisburg. The second, the Black Forest Star Party, happens in September, thanks to the Central Pennsylvania Observers.

Natural Bridges National Monument is a U.S. National Monument located about 50 miles northwest of the Four Corners boundary of southeast Utah, in the western United States, at the junction of White Canyon andArmstrong Canyon, part of the Colorado River drainage.

Camping Reservations: Consider booking at least 2 months in advance. There are only 13 camping spots on park grounds.

Weather:Southeast Utah is part of the Colorado Plateau, a "high desert" region that experiences wide temperature fluctuations. In spring and fall, daytime highs average 60° to 80°F (15° to 26°C) and lows average 30° to 50°F (-1° to 10°C). Summer temperatures often exceed 100°F (37°C), making strenuous exercise difficult. Late summer monsoon season brings violent storm cells which often cause flash floods. Winters are cold, with highs averaging 30° to 50°F (-1° to 10°C), and lows averaging 0° to 20°F (-17° to -6°C)

Geography: Sparsely populated and virtually rainless, the Atacama Desert forms a narrow strip on the coast of Chile, between 600—700 miles long. The average width, from the Pacific Ocean on the west, to the Andes Mountains on the east, is less than 60 miles (100 km). The north end of the desert lies at Chile's border with Peru, while the south stretches to the bend of the Loa River and the mountains separating the Salado-Copiapó drainage basins. This is NUMBER 1 on my list because I enjoy the cool weather in Pennsylvania, and this would be an ideal trip forANYSEASON.
