Total Solar Eclipse in Grand Teton National Park

We planned to see the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse in the United States already years in advance.  Our hotel was located in Jackson, Wyoming, right in the totality zone.  We already booked the hotel two year in advance, and that was not so easy... Half of the hotels complained because we wanted to book so early, the other half of the hotels complained because we were so late (because of the eclipse). 


We made a very nice roadtrip, starting in San Francisco, visiting the national parks in the South-West of the USA.  We ended in Wyoming, to visit Grand Teton National Park, were we experienced the eclipse and finished our trip in Yellowstone.


The weather was extremely nice, and the high altitude made the smallest details during totality visible.  The picture were made using a Canon EOS 80D camera and a 300mm zoom lens. 



We could observe the eclipse from within the Grand Teton National Park.  The wonderful scenery only added to the magic of the eclipse.  On of the roads, Gros Ventre Road, was made a one-way street.  When entering the street, we were told that we could take the first free spot.  We had to ride almost 10 km before we could find the first free spot!  Lot's of people enjoyed the very beautiful eclipse.
