Plan on being in Jackson, WY on August 21st, 2017 will be the first time in 26 years that a total solar eclipse will occur in the United States. In case you have forgotten, this is when the moon passes in front of the sun. In the case of this solar eclipse in you are in Jackson (or another location along the “Path of Totality”) you will be perfectly aligned with the sun and moon so that the moon will completely obscure the sun for for a little over 2 minutes. In 2024 another solar eclipse will occur in North America, but you’ll likely want to visit Mexico for the best views.
If you are just learning about this event, you are likely behind the curve for making travel arrangements (the word on the street is that most places are already booked). The timing of the eclipse in Jackson is 11:42 am on Monday, August 21, 2017, so you can make a day trip from a little way out. Perhaps you can find a nice place to stay in Idaho Falls or Rexburg areas. Of course, you can always find another spot along the path, but you must admit that the Tetons would be a great setting.
A great source of information on the eclipse is Eclipse2017.org. The site contains state specific information about everything you need to know about the 2017 eclipse. If you think this would be neat, then start your planning now and get your plans locked in. Wyoming specific information is available at http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/states/WY.htm.
