Geminids Meteor Shower 🧭 Near Jean Mountains
2024 Geminid meteor shower: All you need to know
An asteroid known as 3200 Phaethon is responsible for the Geminid meteor shower. Radiant rises in mid-evening, highest around 2 a.m.

Rated: Easy 1-2

Route: From Shell we will drive south and make our way to Liteweight Road where we will air down.
We will drive further down the pavement for about 2mins and we will hit dirt.
Its going to be dark already so drive on dirt will be slow so we dont create dust clouds for others at the back while rolling.
We will drive through the gun range and make a turn towards the mountain.
Once we get up top, we will have a view of the Jean Dry Lake Bed below.
I got 3 areas where we can setup (depends if its occupied or not).
You are not required to stay with us until morning where the highest of the meteor showers are showing.
Please let us know first before leaving or ask us if you need guidance going back out.
We would love to make sure everyone gets out safely, specially at a night event.
