Carpooling is highly encouraged. The site is located in the high-mountain desert at 2,800+ feet. While beautiful, it can get hot during the daytime (average 80 °F) and outright cool at night (average low 45 °F). Sunset will occur at 7:30 p.m. and sunrise will be at 6:00 a.m.so most attendees will miss the glare of the sun.

Being high in the mountains, the site is prone to strong winds so please come prepared.
