  • 2 years ago I found out that there would be a Solar Eclipse on Aug 21, 2017; with the path of totality going right over Wyoming's Tetons range. I knew I had to see it from the top of Grand Teton! I convinced my family to make the trip and boy was it worth it!
    It far surpassed all my expectations. Honestly, it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. And I think that the 50 other people on the Summit and I had the best view of the eclipse coming in the country!

    This video is really awesome because from that high spot you can see the shadow around the landscape running towards you. Must have been an out of this world experience in person.

      Definitely, that shadow was unreal, and so cool to see. Thank you!

    • @pradeep183
      @pradeep183 Před 6 lety

      Official Guitar The path of totality is going to cross over pacific ocean, Chile and Argentina in July 2019. There will be another total eclipse just 17 months after the solar eclipse of 2019 which will also be visible from chile and Argentina.

    • @pradeep183
      @pradeep183 Před 6 lety

      Official Guitar also if people can get make it to the path of totality in the pacific ocean (2019) they will get a chance to see the totality for more than 4 mins.

    • @officialguitar3667
      @officialguitar3667 Před 6 lety

      Buddha The monk Is the 2019 one not an annular eclipse? Even if it's total, it will be very short on the South American continent.

    How could anyone thumbs down something as cool as that?

  • @northernfliteproductions3075

    My three kids and I did the same thing in Oregon. We found a remote ridge at 5000 ft and camped there for two nights. We took in the eclipse all by ourselves. You're right, video does not do it justice. If you're interested in seeing the video shoot me a pm. Awesome trip y'all!

    I saw the eclipse at the exact same playground as the last one (1979).
    My old elementary school + I'm 50 yrs old.

    • @Snaaaaku
      @Snaaaaku Před 6 lety +1

      So totality was visible both times from that playground?

  • @HomeInWildSpaces
    @HomeInWildSpaces Před 7 lety +13

    We were just a couple miles away to the west, within view of Grand Teton and were thinking of all the rockstars that were watching the eclipse from the summit.
    Mad props for making it. Thanks for sharing the video!!!

  • @deansorgan
    @deansorgan Před 7 lety +9

    WOW!!! Thanks for sharing this! I didn't think this was even possible...to climb to the top and watch the eclipse. We were just below at Gros Ventre road. And, I might not have believed your video if it wasn't for the airplane contrail curving after the eclipse because I captured that on my video!!!

    • @SCGATOR2001
      @SCGATOR2001 Před 7 lety

      I was in Gros Ventre campground until a couple of days before the eclipse. We had volunteered in Eastern Wyoming with the State Park at Glendo and I hated to leave but we had promised. We helped staff for several days before the eclipse and the morning of the eclipse about 5 am I had a staff member tell me to get down to parking, THOUSANDS of cars arrived before the gate was staffed. We parked what seemed like countless cars until they released us at 10 am (total was at 11:45). I put my camera on a distant ridge on the tripod to get the shadow approaching but it WAS FAST! Next time I will be on the highest point I can find to see the shadow approach. I was thinking if I had stayed in Gros Ventre I wanted to video the Teton Mountains as the shadow approached. But this video got it! Fantastic! I had seen one about 98% before but 100% is so much different. On to 2024. We also saw aircraft immediately after the total.

    • @klmullins65
      @klmullins65 Před 6 lety +2

      KrizAkoni hey, fellow Tennessean! I got to see the eclipse from the top of Foothills Parkway, just outside the Smokeys...my favorite part from that perspective was the "360 degree sunset"...unfortunately, there were too many trees to see the moon's shadow racung across the mountains

    • @josephperry3596
      @josephperry3596 Před 6 lety

      It is a nice shot, I agree, but Mercury was not that close to the sun. It is the star Regulus in the shot @ 5:29 - 5:31.

Must have been even more incredible from up there..Love your video, great job. I feel so lazy after watching you guys. We just saw from a lake, fifty feet from the car. You all are awesome!!

Wow my dad and I did hiking up until very recently and I didn't truly appreciate it until he got sick and could no longer climb a mountain. Cherish the moments. That was actually the most incredible experience and worth a mention. You guys definitely went all out for this capture of the eclipse. Congratulations and thank you for sharing that with us

Those who found it necessary to make negative comments dont appreciate the gifts that we are designed to create, and instead focus on the diminished capacity of their self imposed limitations.

The Grand wish I could have been there. Awesome to see the shadow of the event! Thank you thank you!

  • @garlandbest6322
    @garlandbest6322 Před 6 lety

    While you were watching from the top of the Mountains I was watching below on Elk Flats with the mountains in the background. It's amazing to watch this while thinking "At the time he reached the summit we were watching bison go by us. We could practically see each other".
    A day after the eclipse I actually met someone on that plane we both saw. They could not land during the eclipse, and the passengers watched the eclipse from the windows as the plane circled.
    So many stories on a perfect day.
