This is the range where you would see laser spotting. I've camped out
there and the area is pretty busy with auto traffic, but I suspect all
the bombing and thus targeting is over the next ridge.

The following 135 page pdf document is everything the military wants
you to know about laser safety in the field. Being from 1996, it's
probably a little dated, but it puts you in the ballpark. Of
particular note is Appendix A, which lists "Nominal Ocular Hazard
Distances" for a variety of laser equipped targeting and weapons
systems. It also gives the safe distances when using magnifying
optics (binos, scopes, etc). They are rather....large. It makes one
wonder about watching Red Flag ops with binos.
