For those looking to hike but not wanting to deal with getting in to the national park there are some shorter hikes that are right near town that can lead to good locations to view the eclipse. You can get to the top of Josie’s Ridge to view the eclipse. The hike is steep and short with a lot of area at the top where you can view the eclipse as well as trails that lead off from the top. For those not looking to hike there are many parks and public areas around Jackson and Wilson but keep in mind that these areas will probably be pretty busy so the earlier you get there the better.
Verdaderamente, el eclipse total será visible en cualquier lugar del camino de la totalidad siempre que no haya árboles o edificios en el camino. El sol estará a unos 50 grados por encima del nivel del suelo en la parte sureste del cielo aquí en Jackson. Puede usar un programa como Stellarium para ver exactamente dónde estará el Sol en el cielo durante la totalidad configurando la ubicación exactamente donde usted estará.
