It might sound really cool that you can see a meteor shower in your backyard. However, keep in mind that you won't see any meteor shower if it's cloudy. You also have to consider that the showers will be very faint and will require a perfect viewing spot and posture in order for you to see anything. The Salt Lake Valley is not the best place to see this meteor shower, you should instead try going to the mountains in order to see it best. The showers will start around midnight, which is just late enough in the night that you can stay up and enjoy the show. Utah is basically the best place in the U.S. to see this meteor shower, so it would be a shame not to see it.
