There's a big difference between the city and the country. Take that difference and multiply it by 3. That was the Arizona desert.
I guess that's why so many telescopes are in AZ.
Not sure, but I think the low humidity out west also has something to do with the brilliance of the night sky.
The clearest I can remember was in the Canyonlands. If you just laid back and watched the sky you would see a shooting star every few minutes, and that was every night, not just during a meteor shower.
