We are in the path of totality, and with great mountain views and a totality of 4 minutes 8 seconds, you’ll have an experience of a lifetime. It typically takes 550 years for a total solar eclipse to pass over the same place twice in the Northern Hemisphere and 350 years in the Southern Hemisphere. For those wanting to view another total solar eclipse in the contiguous United States after the 2024 event, it’ll be a 20-year wait until August 23, 2044, for the next one. So, let’s make 2024 a huge celebration!!
