5 BESt Parks TO WATCH 2024 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 

April 8, 2024

AMISTAD NATIONAL REC AREA

Texas has the best chance of sunny skies and the nicest weather. Plus, Amistad National Rec Area is one of the first places to see the eclipse in America.

ste. genevieve National historical park

If it's your first total solar eclipse, it's fitting to watch it in the first European settlement in Missouri. 

BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER

Stay in the eastern side of the park to get the longest period of totality. Hike to a perfect viewing spot or paddle your way into solar eclipse darkness.

Cuyahoga valley national park

Ohio gets the lion's share of this eclipse and at the center of it all is the waterfall-filled Cuyahoga Valley National Park. 

HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK

Hot Springs National Park sits right in the path of totality, but the city of Hot Springs is throwing a party too! Pick your perfect viewing place.

DON'T FORGET YOUR SOLAR GLASSES!

Staring at the eclipse can cause long-lasting and irreversible damage to your eyes. Buy solar glasses to see it safely and don't forget a pair for your mobile phone!
