Bring a picnic lunch and gather at the top of Bradbury Mt. to view the partial solar eclipse. Solar Eclipse glasses will be available, or bring your own. * We will experiment with indirect pinhole viewing too. NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to your eyes, it is important to never look directly at the sun, or to look at an eclipse without solar eclipse glasses. Meet at the Summit: Take the 1/4-mile Summit Trail to the top for a steep, short 15-minute hike, or the 1-mile Outer Loop Trail for a longer but gentle ascent. Reminders: Dress for the weather; wear sturdy footwear. Bring your lunch, water, and snacks. Solar Eclipse Glasses can be purchased from Edward Gleason at the Southworth Planetarium.
