Camp fires are not allowed in Canyonlands National Park.  When I was camping there we would lay on our backs at night and watch the sky while we were talking.  We saw a lot of little "shooting stars" and one time was saw a big one.  Not as big as this one, but pretty impressive.  I would love to go camping there during the Leonid meteor shower or something like that.

Did you notice any satellites in the sky?

Camping outside of Arches National Park in Moab, I thought I was seeing UFOs (I was kind wasted) before my buddy pointed out they were satellites.  But there were definitely several shooting stars while skywatching...
