Some bigger cities such as Nashville, St. Louis and Charleston lie on the southern or northern edge of the eclipse path, meaning you won\u2019t get much of the total show unless you position yourself in a certain place in town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">There\u2019s nothing wrong with that for the locals, but if you\u2019re traveling to see the eclipse, you owe it to yourself to be in a place with 100 percent total eclipse viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">So, we\u2019ve studied the cities located in the totality path here and compiled a list of the best eclipse viewing spots from the west coast to the east coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">ewport, Oregon<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">It\u2019s no secret that sunrises and sunsets are best viewed from the coastline. Naturally, the coast is also going to offer up some supremely stunning eclipse views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Oregon is the first state in the path of this year\u2019s eclipse, and Newport is the city where it will first hit landfall. Make your way to Agate Beach, Don Davis Park or Yaquina Bay State Park\u2019s viewing areas to catch a glimpse of history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Jackson Hole, Wyoming<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">For those who love nature, you\u2019ll be hard pressed to find a better destination for the eclipse (or anything, for that matter).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Tour Yellowstone National Park on the weekend before Monday\u2019s big show and then climb up various peaks in the Grand Teton National Park\u2014such as Snow King Mountain, Jackson Peak, Sheep Mountain, etc.\u2014to give yourself a high vantage point for the ultimate eclipse viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Lincoln, Nebraska<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">The capital city of Nebraska will have several events over the weekend leading up to the eclipse on Monday. Thanks to the University of Nebraska State Museum and the school\u2019s science departments, kids, teens and adults will have a chance to learn the science behind the eclipse as well as take part in a public astronomical viewing to see galaxies and star clusters Friday through Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">On eclipse day, put on your special glasses and view the big show from the Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game, which is hosting an eclipse-themed game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Tallulah Falls, Georgia<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Home to the Tallulah Gorge State Park, Tallulah Falls is a gorgeous setting for eclipse viewing.
