The countdown is on for the total solar eclipse, and if you want to see it from a Texas State Park, you'll need a reservation.
JOHNSON CITY, Texas -- The countdown is on for the total solar eclipse, and if you want to see it from a Texas State Park, you'll want to be sure to make a reservation. Day passes are available starting at 8 am March 8th, exactly one month before the eclipse.
"31 Texas State Parks are in the path of totality for the April 8th solar eclipse, including right here at Pedernales Falls State Park. But if you're hoping to view it from here, you'll need more than just eclipse glasses," says Windler. If you wanted to camp at a Texas State Park, reservations opened back on November 7th, and it's probably too late because those campsites, which require a two-day minimum, are likely already booked. At Pedernatles Falls, regular campsites will be closed for construction starting April 1st, meaning the only way to ensure you can see the eclipse from the falls is to reserve a day pass.
Park interpreter Stephen Garmon says extra staff and volunteers will be at Pedernales Falls to make the viewing extra special.
