The Great Eclipse Trip

South Metro Departure Location

About this event

The Great Eclipse Trip

Experience this once in a lifetime event to view a total solar eclipse lasting 2 minutes and 37 seconds!  The closest viewing location for us is eastern Nebraska and the eclipse takes place on Monday, August 21 just after 1 p.m.  We’ll depart the Twin Cities on Saturday headed to western Iowa. There we’ll stay overnight in Sioux City along the Missouri River and the next day enjoy a drive through the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway (visitloesshills.org). Sunday night we’ll stay in Lincoln, Nebraska, a vibrant university town.  Monday morning we’ll head south to position ourselves directly beneath the solar eclipse path for maximum viewing time. It will be a trip you won’t soon forget.  Read more about the eclipse at GreatAmericanEclipse.com
