You can see the total solar eclipse from these national parks [Video]

It’s been seven years since people in the U.S. have gotten to experience a total solar eclipse — a lineup of the sun, the moon and Earth in which the moon is directly between the other two. In a total eclipse, the moon’s shadow completely covers the sun.

On April 8, Americans will have another chance to witness this awesome phenomenon. The path of totality will go through parts of 13 states (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine).

If you live in one of those states, you may be considering the best viewing spot. A national park is an excellent option, and the path of totality will cross over 27 of them. Here are 10 national parks that are not only open for viewing the eclipse but have special events planned around it.
