Or Canyonlands would be great, except that the cliffs block the horizon.
We viewed Hale-Bopp in 1997 from the Canyonland's area. My brother took such amazing pictures they blew up and displayed a couple of them in the place where he got his film developed (remember film??) If you're up on Island in the Sky and not down by the river, it can be incredibly dark. Maybe drive out to Grand View Point in the early morning and view the comet to the SE, then the sun rise over the canyons. How about Dead Horse Point? Either way, there are many dark places up there, although with the oil drilling and production facilities up there now, you have to move away from the pads to ensure real darkness.
