Watch the total solar eclipse from these national parks

The total solar eclipse path will run from Texas through Maine, giving Americans an opportunity to see the celestial event from more than a dozen national park units.

Occurring on April 8, the eclipse will be the last time Americans will be able to experience a total solar eclipse in the U.S. until 2044 and 2045, the National Park Service said.

For those hoping to catch a glimpse this year, here are some of the national parks, memorials and historic sites where you can go to watch it.
