If I drive 45 minutes east, then there'll be nothing east of me, but Denver west of me. So that's no good.
If I drive 45 minutes west, then I'd probably be close to the Continental Divide. I'd have a lot of dark west of me, but until I get to the top, the horizon is really, really close. If I drove to the top of the divide and then found a way to get off the highway, I bet I could get a really good view. But that's a pretty unpleasant drive that I usually try to avoid.
