Nestled along the path of the annular solar eclipse, Hanksville Town offers an exceptional vantage point for experiencing this celestial phenomenon to the fullest. As the moon briefly obscures the sun, casting its radiant "ring of fire" upon us, Hanksville invites you to partake in a range of engaging activities.

Come join us in this picturesque desert setting as we gather under the eclipse's shadow, making the most of its extended viewing opportunity.
