Meteor shower night hike

This is Colin’s idea posted on 8/8/10. Thanks for suggesting it.
Not sure if this will pass the darkness test 
(it will), but how about hiking up Catherine pass from Alta (an easier, one hour hike) then proceeding to Sunset Peak (a steeper 20 minute hike), or just mid way to Sunset.
Sunset is at 8:30 but the meteor shower will not start till 10 pm , not last till 10 pm (misspoke before, please forgive me).

Flashlights or headlamps are a must on this hike!!!.
Please do wear appropriate shoes. Light jackets recommended.
You may want to bring some snacks to munch on while waiting for and watching the shower. Don’t forget the cameras!
