Weekend Stargazing/Hiking Trips

Hello! I’m here to ask for some recommendations!

Recently, my friends and I have really gotten into hiking and stargazing, and we’re interested in taking a weekend trip to another US state in November to go hiking/stargazing. We are all in our late 20s and live in Florida, and the most challenging hikes we’ve done so far have been a bit of hiking in the Smokies in North Carolina and climbing a few smaller mountains in Japan.

We’re looking for recommendations for spots that have really good stargazing, but also a bit of hiking to go along with it. We’d prefer a day trip, or a spot that we can be hiked out to at night that’s relatively safe, but we aren’t opposed to camping the night as well. Since we do a lot of camping already.

We’d greatly appreciate any of your suggestions, so if you have a favorite hike that you’ve done that has really good stargazing or you know of one, please let me know below! And thank you so much in advance!
