This is nearly 10 years from now, but I just wanted to alert people that a total solar eclipse will be passing over Baxter State Park/Katahdin/Traveler Mtn. and Mt. Mansfield/Jay Peak on April 8th, 2024!! What an amazing experience it would be to see a total solar eclipse on one of our favorite New England Summits! Considering it is still Winter conditions on April 8th, Northern Vermont Peaks seem much more easily feasible than Katahdin. Unfortunately this one will not be a total solar in the Whites..
