Moab will be in the path of a Partial Annular Solar Eclipse on Saturday, October 14th, 2023 between 9:10 am and 12:00 pm, with maximum occuring at 10:31 am. An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving the Sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” around the Moon. Although not in the direct path, Moab will still experience up to a 90% partial eclipse. This will present once in a lifetime photo opportunities at Delicate Arch and other well known locations in our area. As a result, there is a very strong potential for increased visitation during this already busy time of year during the days surrounding the eclipse.
