    This video is really awesome because from that high spot you can see the shadow around the landscape running towards you. Must have been an out of this world experience in person.

      Definitely, that shadow was unreal, and so cool to see. Thank you!

    I dreamed of being able to see totality from a mountain top. That is a very special thing you got to do.

    • @pradeep183
      @pradeep183 7 років тому

      Official Guitar The path of totality is going to cross over pacific ocean, Chile and Argentina in July 2019. There will be another total eclipse just 17 months after the solar eclipse of 2019 which will also be visible from chile and Argentina.

    • @pradeep183
      @pradeep183 7 років тому

      Official Guitar also if people can get make it to the path of totality in the pacific ocean (2019) they will get a chance to see the totality for more than 4 mins.

    • @officialguitar3667
      @officialguitar3667 7 років тому

      Buddha The monk Is the 2019 one not an annular eclipse? Even if it's total, it will be very short on the South American continent.

    This must have been the best view you could possibly get of the eclipse... I loved it...

  • @deansorgan
    @deansorgan 7 років тому +9

    WOW!!! Thanks for sharing this! I didn't think this was even possible...to climb to the top and watch the eclipse. We were just below at Gros Ventre road. And, I might not have believed your video if it wasn't for the airplane contrail curving after the eclipse because I captured that on my video!!!

    • @SCGATOR2001
      @SCGATOR2001 7 років тому

      I was in Gros Ventre campground until a couple of days before the eclipse. We had volunteered in Eastern Wyoming with the State Park at Glendo and I hated to leave but we had promised. We helped staff for several days before the eclipse and the morning of the eclipse about 5 am I had a staff member tell me to get down to parking, THOUSANDS of cars arrived before the gate was staffed. We parked what seemed like countless cars until they released us at 10 am (total was at 11:45). I put my camera on a distant ridge on the tripod to get the shadow approaching but it WAS FAST! Next time I will be on the highest point I can find to see the shadow approach. I was thinking if I had stayed in Gros Ventre I wanted to video the Teton Mountains as the shadow approached. But this video got it! Fantastic! I had seen one about 98% before but 100% is so much different. On to 2024. We also saw aircraft immediately after the total.

    @northernfliteproductions3075 7 років тому +11

    My three kids and I did the same thing in Oregon. We found a remote ridge at 5000 ft and camped there for two nights. We took in the eclipse all by ourselves. You're right, video does not do it justice. If you're interested in seeing the video shoot me a pm. Awesome trip y'all!

    • @klmullins65
      @klmullins65 7 років тому +2

      KrizAkoni hey, fellow Tennessean! I got to see the eclipse from the top of Foothills Parkway, just outside the Smokeys...my favorite part from that perspective was the "360 degree sunset"...unfortunately, there were too many trees to see the moon's shadow racung across the mountains

    • @josephperry3596
      @josephperry3596 7 років тому

      It is a nice shot, I agree, but Mercury was not that close to the sun. It is the star Regulus in the shot @ 5:29 - 5:31.

    Im amazed and very disappointed at the bad comments of your trek......which I thought was awesome. I wish I could have had that experience with my Dad...and it pleases me no end that you and your Dad got to experience this. Those who found it necessary to make negative comments dont appreciate the gifts that we are designed to create, and instead focus on the diminished capacity of their self imposed limitations. Thank you for sharing your video. SOme of us will never have the opportunity to achieve what you did, but now we can say we experienced it...thanks to your video. Much Appreciated. God Bless

      One Bad Idea I agree. We saw totality NE Ga. and have been saying same thing, pictures do not do it justice, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot!! Must have been even more incredible from up there..Love your video, great job. I feel so lazy after watching you guys. We just saw from a lake, fifty feet from the car. You all are awesome!!

  • @lfr30043
    @lfr30043 7 років тому +1

    The most awesome part was being able to see the shadow on the Earth surface and the fact that you were up there with your dad. Wow my dad and I did hiking up until very recently and I didn't truly appreciate it until he got sick and could no longer climb a mountain. Cherish the moments. That was actually the most incredible experience and worth a mention. You guys definitely went all out for this capture of the eclipse. Congratulations and thank you for sharing that with us

  • @bruceparker9854
    @bruceparker9854 7 років тому +5

    got to the saddleone day and had my climbing buddy get soaked by an unexpected rain. backtracked had a new forecast so...up at about 2 a.m. then soloed back to the col, met a German who had never climbed before, taught him the basics, made the summit and back and back down and to the airport in time for my flight at 3 just as the gate closed behind me! The Grand wish I could have been there. Awesome to see the shadow of the event! Thank you thank you!

    Highlands North Carolina.
    in a rain forest the eclipse was blocked by clouds, until the moon moved half past sun.
    we promptly threw our glasses onto our face.
    camping on an overgrown out of use logging road, we fought not with traffic.
    we slept in tents, we viewed the sky from the forest in a clearing. near a mountain paved road.
    three cars drove up, and left the lights on. "turn the lights off!!!!" i screamed.
    they did.
    when the light returned from behind the moon, they quickly drove off.
    while they, in traffic for eight to ten hours.
    we walked and talked in the forest,
    explored abandoned hoard houses, trapped in time
    swallowed by the mountain.

    While you were watching from the top of the Mountains I was watching below on Elk Flats with the mountains in the background. It's amazing to watch this while thinking "At the time he reached the summit we were watching bison go by us. We could practically see each other".
    A day after the eclipse I actually met someone on that plane we both saw. They could not land during the eclipse, and the passengers watched the eclipse from the windows as the plane circled.
    So many stories on a perfect day.

    Nice. I saw it too but from near the top above Teton village. I went by myself and lost my way up the mountain and by the time of the eclipse I saw I wasn't gonna make it to the top so I saw it from the top of the mountain range, but not a summit.

    Epic destination for it! We live in Boise, Idaho and it had (mostly) totality, but we decided to drive to Weiser to a State Park and spend it with a lot of others for FULL totality. It was a beautiful bluebird day, not very hot at all, but when it got dark, it was a weird kind of darkness that fell upon the land, and the goosebumps came out! Lots of cheering, too.

    Thanks for the video. I was so awed by the totality, I forgot to look at the horizon.

    I was 17 or 18, when I climbed neighboring Mt. Moran......back in the summer of 1973. I ran into a couple of guys who were training for a climb of Mt Rainier ( on a lower part of the trail up ), and they were cool enough to let me tag along. A very steep hike to the top, but we didn't use any technical equipment, as far as I recall.
