Come join a select few on Saturday, Oct.ober14, for a guided tour up to the Great House Pueblo for a magnificent viewing spot of the annular solar eclipse.
The gate will open at 8:30am with check-in from 8:30 to 9am. The eclipse will begin at 9:10am and reach a maximum of 93% solar coverage at 10:35am.
The eclipse will conclude by noon. Because of limited parking, shuttles will transfer participants to the trailhead. The 2/3-mile round- trip trail is considered moderate with some rough, rocky sections and steep drop-offs. Bring something soft to sit on while viewing the eclipse.
The fee is $25 per person. This will cover the Forest Service’s entry fee and NASA-approved protective glasses for each participant. Tickets are limited to 35 people.
For tickets, please visit www.chimneyrockco.org or call (877) 444-6777. A booking fee applies to each ticket purchased online or through the call center. Purchasing your tickets in advance is the onlyway to guarantee a spot for this program.
