Call it a (near) total eclipse of the park.
NASA personnel will soon be in Colorado for a celestial event that hasn’t been visible from North America in more than a decade.in Southwest Colorado will be almost directly in line with the annular solar eclipse. During this type of event, the moon comes between the Earth and the sun and blocks most of the light.
“This event might be pretty huge compared to an average October day,” said Eric Sainio, supervisory park ranger at Mesa Verde. “NASA has told us that in former annual eclipses, they’ve seen crowds something like a busy summer day plus 50%. For us, that might mean around 6,000 people.” While Mesa Verde is technically accessible 24 hours a day, some areas close overnight. Sainio expects gates will open fully around 7 a.m. to accommodate eclipse watchers.Mesa Verde plans to have three viewing areas throughout the park where rangers will hand out protective glasses for guests. The park will also have tents covered with solar mylar for individuals who are not comfortable wearing glasses.
