I love the NASA eclipse site with the google maps integration. Here's the one for the 2017 Eclipse if you haven't seen: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html The Southern Tetons are sure looking good. Perhaps Jenny Lake or even a backpacking trip into the Indian Lake area? I'd also consider south of Lincoln City, Oregon but would be worried about cloud cover being right on the coast.

Even at greatest eclipse totality is only 2 mins 40 secs, somewhere in Kentucky and as little as 1 min 40 sec at the Oregon coast. The Tetons sound like the most scenic place to be, but the Tetons are also subject to monsoon weather. That may be a given in August no matter where you go. Thanks for the link, Dave. Kim
One of the best places would be Rexburg, Idaho. On August 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 89% of the time, partly cloudy 2% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 8% of the time.

Good point about the weather -- I was caught in a hail storm there once in August. Maybe a bit east, father from the mountains? On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 3:25 PM, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:

Clear skies would be nice as long as it is not hot. 99 degrees right now so I guess the summer heat came early. Debbie On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 5:50 PM, Craig Smith <cs2560@gmail.com> wrote:

Count me in for the Tetons. I love Jenny Lake. Anybody fished that lake? Good fishing and a total eclipse. What could be better? Debbie On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 2:59 PM, David Bennett <dlbennett@mac.com> wrote:

Eclipse is late morning to early afternoon, so sun will still be in the east - I'd have to look at a simulation, but it may not be ideal viewing from the coast ________________________________ From: David Bennett <dlbennett@mac.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 2:59 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 AUG 21 I love the NASA eclipse site with the google maps integration.
