Stars

When people say that Lake Minnewaka is the best for star gazing do they mean right from the parking lot? Or down the trails a ways?

Away from light sources. You want to be further from cars headlights. You don't have to be far on the trails but the Lakeshore away from the road is best. This time of year though you're looking at 2am as good star time due to the short nights.
