In So Cal, get away from town -- Death Valley is a good option. Mt. Pinos might be ok, but there is still some light pollution from Bakersfield. In Utah, just drive toward Bryce from Panguitch. Red Canyon State Park is right nearby. Might be a little chilly at night in late May -- bring blankets and hot drinks!
Someone sent me a PM asking about how to look for meteors. It's easy -- no equipment. Just lay down (or sit in a recliner) and look toward the north (for this meteor shower). The hardest part for me will be staying awake till midnight!
Lockwood Valley is where the Los Angeles Astronomical Society has their dark sky site. Very dark sky! I was a member:
