Road trip! Catch October's annular solar eclipse with 5 iconic routes through the US

annular solar eclipse road trip. A large orange red rock formations reaching up to the blue sky. A large RV drives along the road in the lower left portion of the image.

To witness a solar eclipse often takes effort, and on October 14, 2023, anyone in the U.S. who wants to see a 'ring of fire' (rather than a partial solar eclipse) will need to be within a roughly 130 miles- (209 kilometers-) wide path stretching from Oregon to Texas. 

So why not combine it with a road trip? Crossing some of the country's most iconic landscapes, National Parks and Dark Sky Parks, the path of the Oct. annular solar eclipse is something to behold for anyone who loves travel, adventure and exploring the night sky.
