2024 Great American Solar Eclipse Schedule:

- Maximum: 11:23 am
- Ends: 12:37 am
- Duration: 2 hours, 25 minutes
*Please note that in Flagstaff we will not witness a total solar eclipse. At the time of the maximum eclipse the sun will be 68% covered.
✦ Hire A Ride or Carpool
Please note that there will be limited parking for this event. We suggest that you show up early and carpool to the event or hire an Uber or Lyft for transportation.
In addition to our main parking lot, we will have additional parking at the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints on Cherry Hill with shuttle services to Mars Hill.
✦Wear Your Solar Shades
It is important to wear these any time you are looking toward the Sun, even when the Moon is covering the majority of the Sun’s surface. Looking directly at the Sun during the eclipse will cause eye damage.
Do not look at the sun or the eclipse without your solar glasses on.
