Celebrating the Great American Eclipse in Baker County Oregon
An exciting weekend in Baker County celebrating the Great American Eclipse of 2017.
A fun weekend with visitors from around the world visiting Baker City and the surrounding county for this once in a lifetime celestial event with multiple community celebrations throughout the County, and a post eclipse afternoon exploring Baker City's historic downtown.
Baker City's Historic downtown is home to a burgeoning artisans and makers community, with a number of special events offering an opportunity to celebrate the arts and meet the makers including the monthly First Friday Art Walk, the Baker Open Artists Studio Tour in October, the monthly Thursday Art Night at the historic Eltrym Theater, the We Like ‘em Short Film Festival in August, and the Great Salt Lick Art Auction in September.
Visitors will find numerous art galleries and working artisan studios throughout Baker City’s historic downtown including the Crossroads Carnegie Art center in the restored Carnegie Library building.
Baker City's historic downtown is one of the largest intact turn of the 20th century historic districts in the American West with over 100 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. today the downtown has been lovingly restored and the historic district is now a thriving downtown home to numerous art galleries, restaurants, micro breweries and local independently owned shops, making it the perfect destination for celebrating the holidays and shopping small unique businesses.

Eclipsed sun, with Venus in the lower right - unfortunately photo turned out blurry but Venus is that little streak.
Photo has been adjusted for exposure but otherwise is original pixels.

We headed out from Centennial, Wyoming at about 3:15am and reached our destination in Casper at about 6:30am (stopping for gas in both Laramie and Casper just out of paranoia at what might happen later). Here's the sun rising shortly after we reached our viewing location. No clouds nearby at that time, but there were high clouds visible on the western and northern horizons.
