Dallas is greatest for early eclipse viewing. The Perot Museum said the Texas city is the biggest in the line of totality and the first major U.S. destination to see partial coverage at 12:23 p.m. CDT.
Indianapolis may be best for eclipse viewing. The Indiana capital sits near the center of totality, providing three minutes and 46 seconds of coverage.
Lake Placid has hosted the Winter Olympics twice, but 2024 will be the first complete eclipse in the Adirondacks.
Cleveland may be a good eclipse site. Near the center of totality, the Ohio city's tourist board predicts roughly four minutes of totality on Apr. 8. Local festivals and celebrations will also celebrate the day.
NASA reports that the partial eclipse began on the earlier side for the U.S. at 12:33 p.m. CDT and ended at 3:11 p.m. CDT in Little Rock, one of many locations in the state with hotels to accommodate the visitors.
Montreal distinguishes out among these foreign possibilities because to its simple airport connection, plenty of hotel rooms and accommodation, and lots to see and do outside of the eclipse.
Vermont has many reasons to come year-round, but the 2024 eclipse is particularly appealing. Vermont has not seen totality since 1932.
Maine is your last chance to see the final U.S. eclipse until 2044. Totality begins in Caribou, a tiny town in the northern portion of the state, at 3:32 p.m. EDT.
