VIEW OUTER SPACE FROM OUR OPEN SPACE

For the first time since 1918, a total solar eclipse (TSE) is coming to Wyoming. On August 21, 2017 the eclipse will make its way across the beautiful Wyoming skies. Astronomers, eclipse enthusiasts and travelers from around the world are making their plans to convene in Wyoming to experience one of the most breathtaking sights on earth in one of the most beautiful places in the world.  Click here for an interactive map

The eclipse’s path of totality will make its way through the entire central region of Wyoming as it spans more than 365 miles— from the east side of the state through the north end of Sublette County and Pinedale to Wilson and Jackson on the west side of the state—providing visitors the opportunity to see this natural phenomenon in some of the nation's most stunning landscapes. Areas directly under the path will experience the eclipse for approximately two-and-a-half minutes, while it will be viewable for a lesser duration of time in communities located roughly 30 - 50 miles from the center of totality, but still in the eclipse’s path. 

With wide-open spaces, the lowest light population in the country and abundant public land access Wyoming is the perfect destination for viewing the eclipse.
