Plan to view of the solar eclipse that will span across the Texas Hill Country and San Antonio on October 14, 2023. Watch the eclipse from your own yard, or go to a city or state park, or even tube on the Medina or Guadalupe river. If you are in San Antonio, basically anywhere will be a good spot to look at the eclipse, but being a bit closer to the southwest of San Antonio puts you closer to the center line of the eclipse path. Other ideas to see the eclipse, San Pedro Springs Park (free city park), New Ingram Dam (public domain river), the dried up Medina Lake Bed (public domain river), Government Canyon State Park, Garner State Park… or be like my family and enter on the public domain part of the Rio Frio river and park on the side of the road, or English Crossing (public domain river). See my full list of ideas of where to view the eclipse here.

The moon begins to cover the sun at about 10:22am, climaxes at 11:53am, and the last of the moon will leave the stage at about 1:32pm.

Eclipse Glasses

Don’t forget to bring your own viewing glasses! I have seen them for sale in places like near the self-checkout line of Lowe’s, gas stations, and you can also buy them online… just be sure to give yourself enough lead-time for shipping. You will have to wear your glasses during the entire eclipse for the ring-of-fire style eclipse, as the moon will be too small to fully cover the sun on this go-around. The April 2024 eclipse is the one you can pull your glasses off during totality.
