Description

Witness a rare celestial event where the moon partially covers the sun, creating a striking ‘black sun’ effect in the sky. Park rangers will guide you through this breathtaking phenomenon, providing insights into the science and wonder of solar eclipses. Rangers will have a limited number of solar-viewing glasses available and Eclipse Junior Ranger activity books for the children.

Ranger Programs will be held at both the Window View Trailhead in the Chisos Basin and at Panther Junction Visitor Center.
