I did not get those times off a website. I forget when daylight silly time begins, perhaps they are off by an hour, the app listed local time. With all the different rules for daylight time they probably are MST times without correcting for DST.If sunset is at 8:43 MDT then the max eclipse is likely also an hour later IE 8:29 MDT. Personally I do not care about last contact as long as I can see all of the max eclipse. Either way getting to a site well before first contact is probably a good idea.
for Ann, Bryce will offer some good sunset vistas for the eclipse, I imagine Bryce will be good site to view it. Some people probably don't want to drive back to SL during darkness. The Festival ends Sunday the 20th so I would think option 3 people may want a room in Cedar City for the night. The web site uses UT time, which is 7 hours ahead of Mountain standard
time. The USNO gives sunset as 7:43 standard time. It may be that there is some confusion between standard and daylight saving time. The 4th contact will be a few minutes after sunset, not and hour and a few minutes.
Quoting erikhansen@thebluezone.net:
The day of the eclipse. Sunrise 5:05 AM, Sunset 7:43 PM, 1st contact 6:19 PM, Max eclipse 7:29 PM, 4th contact 8:33 PM. . I plan on bringing my old friend Sam Adams, on ice of course.

Does anyone know what % of the Sun will be covered from up here? Also, what is the draw for an annular eclipse since you can't see the Corona.
Dave, don't you think a nearly central annularity is worth seeing?
It's too far away for me to make plans, but I'd certainly like to see it, if the stars all align in my favor.
I'm planning on bringing my own Corona, on ice.
