Tonight: More on the Ring of Fire, with special guest Jeremy Martin of Bears Ears National Monument, Monticello Field Office. The following tips from the Bureau of Land Management will ensure you're prepared to safely view the eclipse should you choose to visit the park:

  • Prepare for your visit to public lands for the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023. "If you intend to watch the eclipse on public lands, come prepared! Have plans for when and where you're going, make sure to bring everything you need, and be flexible on the day of the eclipse."

  • "In addition to viewing the eclipse in a responsible way, make sure to respect the landscape and other visitors during your trip. Not everyone will experience the eclipse in the same way. Many Indigenous cultures do not view eclipses according to their cultural teachings. As a result, Tribal lands and Tribal parks may be closed during the eclipse. Learn about Navajo and Cherokee eclipse teachings here. People who are blind or visually impaired may experience this celestial event by listening to eclipse soundscape or reading about the eclipse in Braille."
