eclipse

As we were leaving church yesterday, part of me wanted to drive past a few of these locations to see just how much of a zoo the stands were as people scrambled to get their last minute eclipse glasses.

Everything you need to know about today's total solar eclipse

We're just days away from the total eclipse on Monday, and already, Oregon has seen intense traffic trouble. We're expecting it here too, and ready to help you navigate your way around it.

Over the last few weeks, we've been following the influx of tourists who are coming for the total eclipse on Monday. Another result of the unusual demand? Hotel prices are insane!

I'll be honest, I was late to the eclipse party. I run a small business on the side and it wasn't until I was making some "glow-in-the dark" eclipse t-shirts on Thursday night that I decided I wanted a pair of glasses to check it out.

From gas stations, to clothing retailers, to breweries, to wineries...everyone is trying to make a quick buck off Monday's historic total solar eclipse. Some of the souvenirs have found their way onto the national stage.

As the Treasure Valley and Gem State prepare for the influx of tourists for the eclipse coming Monday, it's probably no surprise this will be impacted: Gas prices. They're going up.

Don't forget THIS might ruin your eclipse viewing!

Know someone who just got on the eclipse bandwagon, and are now trying to find a hotel to stay in here in Boise or across Idaho?  There are rooms available, but they're going to cost big money.

As you know, the total eclipse is coming August 21st, and our state offers our region a place to experience it in 100% totality.  That means more visitors and a need for more rental cars.
