The Quadrantid meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend. If you’re trying to spot these elusive meteors streaking through the sky, bundle up and head somewhere dark. Consult this chart for the best viewing hours for your location + check out the Dark Skies International map for spots with lower light pollution. By our count, the darkest skies within driving distance are Cave Run Lake + Red River Gorge.
