Our Life in Yellowstone - Breath Taking Solar Eclipse
In our part of Yellowstone -The North Entrance (Mammoth) we received 98.8% total Eclipse. 80 miles south in Jackson Hole they got a 100% total Eclipse. They had thousands of people down there and we had maybe 20 on top of Bunsen Peak! What a amazing site to watch, the sun slowly getting darker and darker by our moon which passes in front of it. We climbed Bunsen peak (8564') high about 8:30 in the Morning with some friends and reached the top at 10:00 am and it didn't take long after for the sun to start with the eclipse, little by little small pieces of the sun were blocked by the moon and finally it became 15 degrees cooler and the skies turned much darker! All I can say it was a once in a life time view that we will never forget!
