I’ve done multiple eclipses…..

I went to grand Teton for 2017. I’ve done the park many times so I was there just to see it and knew where I would go.

I got in their the day before, did a night there, then fro e to SLC hotel for a flight home the next day.

the day before I got to Teton from sun valley, ID. Driving east from idaho falls I saw a bunch of people set up random camping spots Ive drive this route before. I stayed at the motel 6 just south of jackson core.

I left my hotel before sunrise. The traffic was a crawl out of jackson up to gros venture eherr it let up some. Police were controlling traffic. The place I wanted to go the ranger was about to not let me in there but I could go. Some peop,e were st schwahbacker landing for first sunlight and left. When I got there there was about 30 of us who were there to view the eclipse. A few had telescopes.

Shortly after the total eclipse ended, I headed out needingbto drive to SLC.

the main toad out was a crawl going the route of jackson to Evanston. Traffic was bad to Alpine then it started going a little faster but had a string of vehicles inn the one lane each way road. Other than stops for quick food/ gas I got to SLC about an hr before sunset.

a friend of mine snd his family travelled out to Portland. His wife has a brother there. They went to a location in the mountains for the eclipse but had to move due to the local wildfires away from the wildfire smoke/ haze.

traffic away from totality is going to be crazy all over. In the east, unlike western US you have just more road options you can take.
