The Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon venues cited in the NSN announcement are
public outreach opportunities. For personal observing, you might have to
find some out of the way locations or you'll find a couple of hundred of your
new best friends joining in. Actually, Glen Canyon might have the better
chance at some memories; the duration will be a bit longer, and the view
will, in most cases, be more spectacular as the sun sets.
Let me know if you want to join our intrepid gang at the Grand Canyon,
where five NASA folks will also be providing daytime demos in the Visitor
Center Theater as well as scopes for the event. Information for Joan Mayer at
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, who is coordinating that event, is on
the NSN link below.
If you are unfamiliar with the Page area, try Google Earth to get a feeling
for the sight lines for better photo ops. For the Grand Canyon, east of
the Visitor Center seems to have the most chance at getting the Rim and the
eclipse in the same frame.

What plans are folks making for the upcoming annular eclipse next month?
Are there any places north of Flagstaff that people are planning to go to?
