According to Eclipsekit’s facebook page (we’re not affiliated with them – I snagged these glasses from the Denver Astronomical Society at StarFest Denver 2017), 8.6 million people are expected to be funneling up I-25 to Glendo, Wyoming to see the eclipse.

Most people will be going to Casper – Wyoming In Motion will be sharing Casper’s eclipse events, but there are several other cities/towns along I-80 where the eclipse can be viewed as well.

Here are the cities/towns in the three states that we’re concerned with over which the Path of Totality will pass (and last for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute and 30 seconds – not long at all!).
