Even though the eclipse is not going through there.

I'm thinking of taking the train to Grand Teton, renting a car and watching from someplace nearby. But I'm not sure our budget can handle it, so we'll have to look at that realistically after the first of the year.

To see if we'll like train travel we're taking a train to Alexandria, Virginia for a seminar in November. That's a 20 hour trip from where we'll get on so tolerable even if we hate train travel. Plus that puts us in the area without a car which is an advantage in the Washington DC area.
